Bowel Screening Pilot evaluation reports

On 8 August 2018, the Ministry of Health published an independent review endorsing the continued roll-out of National Bowel Screening Programme, with some improvements. The Ministry committed to publishing its progress to meet the 19 wide-ranging recommendations to support continued improvement. This is the six-month report to February 2019.

This report presents the evaluation findings from round one of the bowel screening pilot. It describes how effective, safe, acceptable and equitable the pilot was in round one and provides a preliminary analysis of the round one costings.

An evaluation of the Waitemata District Health Board Bowel Screening Pilot is being undertaken to help inform a decision on whether it is feasible to roll out a national bowel screening programme.
