NHS cash crisis will delay national bowel screening programme ...

...In 2004 the number of deaths from bowel cancer (16 148) exceeded the number from breast cancer (12 347) and cervical cancer (1093), diseases for which there are already effective, well run screening programmes.

Five year survival rates for bowel cancer, although increasing, remain below 50%.

This programme will be an important opportunity to reverse the low ranking of our bowel cancer survival rates in comparison with the US and several European countries, she says.

There is still time to introduce the programme in 2006, she adds, but doubts about the speed of introducing the programme risks harming the professional goodwill and motivation that have driven service improvements.

"The government's short term financial difficulties should not be permitted to erode national confidence in its commitment to tackling bowel cancer death rates," she concludes.
