National Assembly for Wales

The UK National Screening Committee does not recommend prostate cancer screening, and as a result the NHS in Wales does not offer prostate cancer screening. The recommendation and the rationale can be found at:

Prostate cancer - UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) - GOV.UK (view-health-screening-recommendations.service.gov.uk)

Guidance is available to clinicians and members of the public regarding accessing prostate specific antigen testing among asymptomatic men and this can be found at:

The Welsh Government has set out its approach to improving cancer services in the Quality statement for Cancer and the NHS has set out its response in the Cancer Improvement Plan. These documents can be found at:
