The National Screening Service (NSS) was established by the Minister for Health and Children in January 2007. It was formed in response to a national cancer strategy which advocated for a comprehensive cancer control programme. Today, NSS is part of the Health Service Executive (HSE). It is a priority for us that all eligible people can access our services. NSS works with many different screening partners to enable this to happen. Our teams provide a national service, delivering coverage to the whole population.

• ensure that anyone who does develop the disease being screened for has the best chance of early, more effective treatment
• reduce people's risk of developing a disease or its complications
• support people in making informed decisions about their health

Choose Screening: Together we can make a difference. NSS's 5 year Strategic Plan outlines our strategic priorities and goals for the years .
