This is the sixth report to monitor the National Cervical Screening Program since it introduced 5-yearly HPV tests in December 2017. In 2019–2023, there were more than 5 million participants aged 25–74, and in 2023, 7% of screening HPV tests performed were positive for HPV types that cause cervical cancer. In 2020, there were 916 new cases of cervical cancer, and in 2022 there were 204 deaths from cervical cancer.
