Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 June 2026

Debate

Prostate Cancer Screening

Contribution

My Lords, I pay tribute to the noble Baroness, Lady Royall, for championing this issue. Today’s announcement that Black men will be offered prostate cancer screening in the TRANSFORM trial is very welcome, given that Black men are around twice as likely to develop prostate cancer and die from it. So I have two quick questions. First, only last week, the Government backed a recommendation that did not include them for targeted screening, so, out of interest, can the Minister share with the House what new evidence came to light since then and led to today’s welcome announcement? It is not a trick question; I am just trying to understand that gap in evidence. Secondly, when will eligible Black men be invited to stage 2 of the trial?
