“This is fantastic news and a massive step in the right direction towards screening from 50 in Wales, which we’ve long campaigned for.
“Screening is one of the best ways to diagnose bowel cancer early, when it’s much easier to treat, or in some cases prevent it from developing in the first place, and so inviting more people to take part is welcomed. We encourage everyone to complete the test when they receive it.” - Gerard McMahon, our Head of Policy and Influencing (Devolved Nations).

Bowel screening in Wales is expanding.
From October 2023, people aged 51-54 will start receiving a free NHS bowel screening test kit every two years.
People aged 55-74 are already eligible for bowel screening.
You will be automatically sent a test kit if you’re eligible.
