Answer
My Department or the Public Health Agency have not been invited to attend this event.
Screening policy across the UK is informed by the recommendations of the UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC), an independent committee which advises the four UK health Departments on screening matters. My Department will continue to be guided by the UK NSC’s recommendations on proposals for screening programmes.
