Findings from this report:

In 2009–2010, more than 3.6 million women participated in the NCSP. This was 57% of women in the target population
Of the women sent a 27-month reminder letter by a cervical cytology register in 2009, 32% rescreened within 3 months
Incidence and mortality have both halved since the NCSP was introduced in 1991
In 2010, for every 1,000 women screened, 9 women had a high-grade abnormality detected by histology
