2 P-06-1435 We’re calling on the Welsh Government to commit to implementing targeted lung cancer screening

Supporting documents:

Minutes:

The Committee considered the petition and agreed in the first instance to write directly to Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board regarding the details of the lung cancer screening pilot, to confirm when the pilot will conclude, when the full evaluation of the pilot is expected to conclude, and whether they plan any interim evaluation to take forward any learning points in the meantime, and if so when that would happen.

 

It was agreed that this information would be sought with a view to asking for an update from the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care in 12 months’ time, to ask how soon he hopes to roll out a screening programme if the pilot is deemed successful.  Members also wanted to seek more information on other shorter-term actions being taken around smoking cessation and tackling air pollution.

 

Additionally the Committee agreed to highlight the petition to the Chair of the Health and Social Care Committee as the lead Committee for scrutiny of these plans.
