UK National Screening Committee

I don't think I had come across this until recently. It advises UK health ministers on screening policy, and has two subgroups, on antenatal and child screening. The website links to reports and policy documents, and has links to websites for specific screening programmes, as well as to the National Electronic Library for Screening.

I came across a report in the Times about routine screening of men over 65 for abdominal aortic aneurysm. That newspaper said (from a report in Pulse) that the NSC was going to recommend routine screening. There was nothing obvious on the NSC website at that time, and there still is not, as far as I can see.
