The NHS provides national screening programmes so that certain diseases can be detected at an early stage. These currently apply to bowel cancer, breast cancer, aortic aneurysms and diabetic retinal screening service.
The law allows us to share your contact information with Public Health England so that you can be invited to the relevant screening programme.
