Taking part in bowel screening is your choice. Bowel Screening Wales has a duty to invite all eligible individuals for screening.
If you do not complete your screening test kit within 7 weeks of receiving it, you will receive a reminder letter. If you do not return a completed test kit after this reminder letter, we will invite you again in two years' time, if you are within the eligible age range and living in Wales.
If you do not want to receive invitations for bowel screening, please contact us to let us know. We will send you a form to sign to confirm that you do not want further invites from us.
Individuals who ask for the invitations to be stopped, but then later decide that they would like to have screening, can come back into the programme at any time until the age of 74.
