We welcome this change to cervical screening - a result of years of research to make it more effective. Screening, alongside the HPV vaccine our scientists helped develop, has seen cervical cancer rates fall by around 25% since the early 1990s. We look forward to more progress.

Lung cancer takes more lives than any other cancer in Wales, with far too many people diagnosed at a late stage. The Welsh Government’s decision to introduce targeted lung screening is very welcome and a significant development - one that will save lives. It’s crucial this

I’m excited by the latest results from CaPP3, research which is changing the way we approach cancer prevention. These findings could help prevent bowel cancer in people at high risk of developing the disease and make a real difference for people with Lynch syndrome.

Cancer does not discriminate - every patient, no matter who they are or where they live deserves high quality care. More research is needed to understand what has led to these treatment gaps for lung cancer patients. We need to use this opportunity of the National Cancer Plan to
