Screening Programmes.18.1 Cervical Cancer.The national cervical screening programme enables early detection and treatment of changes inthe cervix before these changes become malignant. In the UK each year around 3,000 newcases of cervical cancer are diagnosed, and there are around 900 deaths in England due to thiscondition. Many women who develop cervical cancer have not been screened regularly.(Department of Health 2006)The Department of Health has set a target for Primary Care organisations to achieve 80% ofwomen between the ages of 25 and 64 receiving cervical cancer screening.Data to March 2006 indicate that Cumbria Primary Care Trust as a whole has exceeded thenational average for cervical screening by achieving 82.4% of all women within the target agegroup attending for screening. This compares to the national figure of 79.5%.For the same period, Carlisle Local Authority has achieved 82.5% of coverage for the targetgroup. However four of the fifteen General practices in Carlisle did not achieve the target of80% coverage of the eligible population.18.2 Breast Screening.In England one in nine women will develop breast cancer at some time in their life. (Departmentof Health 2006). Breast screening in the form of mammography can detect breast cancer at anearly stage. Between 1988 and 1991 the National Breast Programme was introduced. Duringthe first phase all women aged between 50 and 64 years were invited to attend formammography. During 2005 the programme was extended to include women aged between 65and 70 years. After the age of 70, women are still eligible for breast screening however they arenot invited to attend, and must request mammography.The Department of Health has set a target for primary care organisations to achieve a minimumof 70% of the eligible population to attend breast screening and a desirable target of 80% of theeligible population. The programme is estimated to save around 1,400 lives each year inEngland. For every 400 women screened regularly by the NHS Breast Screening Programmeover a ten year period, one woman fewer will die from breast cancer (Advisory Committee onBreast Cancer Screening 2006).In Cumbria over the past 3 years 68.3% of women who are eligible have attended for breastscreening. This falls short of the minimum target of 70%.Fiona Huntington 30 of 47
