“Our region is a beautiful place to grow up, and the vast majority of our children thrive here. However, the sheer geographic scale of our region means that for families living in remote and rural communities, simply reaching services can take considerable time, cost and effort.”
What Jennifer Davies has said
“The early years are the most important window of opportunity we have to shape health for a lifetime. We know that if left unchecked, health inequalities accumulate across the life course and that acting early is both the most effective and the most cost-efficient thing we can do.”

“It is vital that screening is made as accessible as possible, to ensure the greatest burden of disease does not fall on individuals and communities who already face additional barriers to accessing healthcare. A national rollout of self-sampling methods would help fulfil the promise of successive governments, and aid in addressing health inequities for under-served groups.”
