From the same article:
“Wes Streeting, the Health Secretary, has applauded The Telegraph’s campaign, saying he would like to see a screening programme in place if the evidence supported it.
A government spokesman said: “Prostate cancer can be devastating, which is why we are in the process of examining the introduction of targeted screening, but any decision must be evidence-led.
“That is why the UKNSC is looking at this as a priority – including reviewing the evidence for screening men with a family history of prostate cancer.
“As we await its conclusion, our 10-year health plan is getting on with improving cancer treatment and prevention, including funding tens of millions of pounds of vital new research to help diagnose patients faster and save lives.”
