Proportion of the population aged 60 to 74 screened for bowel cancer in the previous 30 months (12078) Metric type
- Help text
- The proportion of eligible men and women aged 60 to 74 invited for screening who had an adequate faecal occult blood test (FOBt) screening result in the previous 30 months. Eligible population is the number of men and women aged 60 to 74 years resident in the area (determined by postcode of residence) who are eligible for bowel cancer screening at a given point in time, excluding those whose recall has been ceased for clinical reasons (e.g. no functioning colon) or if they opt out of the programme.
This indicator gives screening coverage by local authority of residence. This is not the same as the indicator based on population registered with primary care organisations which include patients wherever they live. This is likely to result in different England totals depending on selected (registered or resident) population footprint. The indicator excludes people outside the target age range for the screening programme who may self-refer for screening.
.England figures have been aggregated from local authority data and exclude women resident in Wales or of unknown local authority
