What each strand covers

The programme runs to 2030 and opens in stages. Each strand has its own age band, its own test and its own way of inviting people.

Breast: women 45–74. A free mammogram, with ultrasound where needed. The strand opened on 13 October 2026 and the referral is valid for about a year.

Cervical: women 21–65. A Pap test at 21–29 and HPV DNA at 30–65.

Colorectal: women and men 50–69, with a self-test kit collected from a pharmacy.

Cardiovascular risk: announced but not open, and the page shows it as such.

Taking part needs an and does not depend on insurance. Anyone already diagnosed in the same area is followed by their own doctor and does not enter population screening.
