Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 June 2026

Debate

Prostate Cancer Screening

Contribution

The noble Baroness is absolutely right to bring inequality into this discussion. The statistics are stark. That is why the Government are today announcing an investment of £18 million in TRANSFORM stage 2, which will take a particular interest in Black men. Eligible Black men include those aged 45 to 74 having come through the stage 1 process. There is a list of criteria that I cannot go into in detail on now, but it is worth looking into. There is also money set aside for capital spend to look at strengthening access to focal therapies, which are less invasive. So much research still needs to be done, and the noble Baroness is absolutely right to raise the particular issue of inequality.
