Question

To ask the Scottish Government whether it plans to run public awareness campaigns regarding the change to routine cervical screening intervals from three to five years.


Answer

I refer the member to the answer to question S6W-01510 on 4 August 2021. I can now update that the cervical screening marketing campaign was launched on 11 October 2021. Although the primary focus of this campaign will be on encouraging those eligible to attend their cervical screening appointment when invited, the campaign will also provide information on screening intervals and the benefits of testing for human papilloma virus. Beyond this campaign, we will continue to work with our partners to identify further opportunities to communicate these important messages.
