My question is to the Minister for Health and Ageing. The minister may be aware of a Bowel Cancer Awareness breakfast held last Thursday. Given that 73 Australians die from bowel cancer each week and that more than 90 per cent of bowel cancers can be cured if detected early, can the minister update the House about any plans for future implementation of the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program, including re-screening eligible people instead of one-off testing?
