Cancer screening hasn't rebounded to prepandemic levels
Preventive health screenings, including those for screening mammography, have not rebounded to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, a new study published February 2 in JAMA Health Forum found.

Commenting on the launch of a government consultation into tribunal fees, UNISON general secretary Christina McAnea said:
“The government should be tackling the real issues the country faces, not trying to pick another fight with working people.
“The fact that ministers want to reheat a failed and illegal policy shows that this is a government that ran out of ideas some time ago and needs to step aside.
“Tribunal fees denied the poorest and most vulnerable access to justice. The only people who would benefit from their reintroduction are unscrupulous bosses.
“When UNISON forced the fees to be scrapped in 2017, the...
