5. Cervical screening
5.1
KPI CS1: Coverage under 50 years
CS1 (standard code CSP-S01) shows the proportion of women in the resident population eligible for cervical screening aged 25 to 49 years at end of period reported who were screened adequately within the previous 3.5 years. National performance of CS1 (standard CSP-S01) in quarter 1 2024 to 2025 was 67.1%.
On the 24 June 2024, the NHS Cervical Screening Programme replaced the National Health Application and Infrastructure Services (NHAIS) call and recall IT system with the Cervical Screening Management System (CSMS). The Q1 2024 to 2025 data have been obtained from NHAIS up to the point of transfer to CSMS so does not represent a full quarter and is not directly comparable to previous data. The usual 2-month lag time to ensure that the outcome of all the tests taken in the period are included, has not been applied because the data have been extracted from NHAIS at the point of closure of the NHAIS system. Therefore, the Q1 2024 to 2025 coverage figures reported will be slightly lower than expected.

National performance of CS2 (standard CSP-S02) in quarter 1 2024 to 2025 was 74.7%.
