Answer
The Chief Medical Officer (CMO) has provided me with an update on the work of the Task and Finish Group. The Group is continuing its work to further consider options to expedite the extension of the bowel cancer screening programme this year.
CMO is working with policy and commissioner colleagues to seek to advance this work. His final report will be published.
