Deadline nears for submissions on health screening programmes policy

Deadline nears for submissions on health screening programmes policy

The National Screening Advisory Committee’s (NSAC) 2025 call for submissions is due to close on Friday September 12.

NSAC is the independent committee which makes recommendations to Minister for Health Jennifer Carroll MacNeill on the introduction of screening programmes or changes to existing programmes.

Each year, members of the public and health professionals are encouraged to make submissions which inform the work of the committee and to help shape the screening policy.

Ms Carroll MacNeill said: “Population health screening programmes are vital for early disease detection and better treatment outcomes, often reducing mortality.

“The Government is committed to expanding these programmes, and submissions provide essential evidence for NSAC recommendations.

“I encourage everyone to participate.”

NSAC chairwoman Suzanne Crowe said the submissions to date “are a vital part of ensuring Ireland’s national screening programmes remain evidence-based and responsive to the needs of the population”.

The 2025 call for submissions closes at 5pm on September 12.
