My Lords, we know that early cancer diagnosis improves survival. Last month, the Prime Minister announced a package of measures to be rolled out nationally with the aim of seeing three-quarters of all cancers detected at an early stage by 2028.

Around 7,000 people who are alive today would not have been had mortality rates remained at the 2010 levels.
