Note that Public Health England was disbanded in 2021. Its functions were taken over by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) in the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), and NHS England (NHSE).

This inequalities strategy was developed by Public Health England (PHE). It is aimed at supporting local screening services, commissioners and others involved in the provision of screening to address inequalities.
