Cervical Cancer: Screening

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the average frequency was of screening for recurrences of cervical cancer in the latest period for which figures are available.

The follow-up regimen for that particular woman, which may include cervical screening depending on the form of treatment received, is decided on by the clinical decisions of the MDT.
