BowelScreen is a new, government-funded screening programme which once established, will offer a BowelScreen home test kit to women and men aged 60 to 69 every two years.
Overtime the programme will be expanded until the full 55 to 74 age group is reached. To develop the capacity to cater for the full 55 to 74 age group, the programme will be implemented on a phased basis, starting with men and women aged 60 to 69.
