I think my closing comments to your previous question still hold. We look at all of the evidence available as to what is an appropriate way of either understanding our diagnosis where there is suspected lung cancer, or potential population screening. But I think, actually, with lung cancer, our biggest challenge is the fact that there is late presentation for lung cancer. It’s a really big concern. In particular, we recognise there is a real differential in terms of the most deprived groups and our least deprived communities, and those who are most likely to present and seek help. That is our biggest challenge, and it’s a challenge that the cancer implementation group has recognised themselves. Clinicians within the service and cancer charities and campaign groups recognise that we need to do more to get people to present at an earlier stage, on lung cancer in particular, when there is a better prospect of people having their life saved. But, as I say, I look forward to the evidence on what we could and should do, and how we then implement that progressively and successfully across the whole service.

Whoops! There was an error.
