This is the third report to monitor the National Cervical Screening Program since it introduced 5-yearly HPV tests in December 2017. In 2018–2020, there were more than 3.8 million participants aged 25–74, and in 2020, 10% of all screening HPV tests performed were positive for HPV types that cause cervical cancer. Cervical cancer incidence and mortality remained low at 10 new cases and 2 deaths per 100,000 women, respectively.
