National lung cancer screening programme:

Backbench debate (separate chamber, no votes)

A Westminster Hall debate on establishing a national lung cancer screening programme in the UK. The debate will examine whether the NHS should introduce systematic screening for lung cancer, similar to existing programmes for breast and bowel cancer, and consider the clinical evidence, funding requirements, and implementation challenges involved.

Lung cancer has one of the poorest survival rates among common cancers in the UK. Early detection through screening can significantly improve outcomes. This debate will test parliamentary support for expanding NHS screening capacity and may influence government policy on whether to commit resources to a new screening programme.
