I will just point out that I have not been particularly conscious of seeing such campaigns.

Regarding the backlog, and I am short of time, I have three questions. When is it expected that a full catch-up will be achieved in the screening programmes? Is there much of an issue with no-shows in that regard? Are there geographic differences with the availability of services, and, if so, what areas are especially problematic?
