I can see the rationale behind the targeted approach because of resources and the position of the time. Professor Flanagan mentioned being back to pre-Covid levels of screening, which is welcome, but are additional measures required to catch up on what was missed because of delays in the first place? For example, are people only being screened once every three years or is it twice every three years, as recommended?
