The UK Government has pledged £200 million to local cancer care to address screening uptake gaps and reduce screening inequalities in deprived areas. Patients in deprived and underserved areas will receive potentially lifesaving, earlier cancer diagnosis through the scheme to tackle postcode lotteries in cancer screening. Local communities across England will benefit from the major investment, aimed at reducing cancer screening inequalities and catching more cancers early. “The postcode lottery for cancer care we see today shows that the promise has still not been realised. For example, mobile lung cancer screening is reaching people aged 55–74 who smoke or have a history of smoking, with units visiting communities across Greater Manchester.
