The National Screening Service (NSS) welcomes the publication of the Expert Reference Groups’ Interval Cancer Reports, and supports their recommendations. The NSS will work to implement those recommendations in full, in partnership with the people we care for, and our professional screening teams around the country.

The expert reports were commissioned as part of the Scally Review in 2018. They set out a new and comprehensive approach to reviews of interval cancers in people who have been screened by Ireland’s breast, bowel and cervical cancer screening programmes.

This Cancer Strategy aims to meet the needs of cancer patients in Ireland for the next decade. The number of cases of cancer is expected to increase over the period of the Strategy, and to almost double by 2040.
