The Cervical Screening Management System (CSMS) went live on Monday 24 June.

An issue has been identified following transition to the CSMS. In some instances, the CSMS indicates a patient is not yet due for screening when they are in fact overdue. NHS England is exploring a fix to resolve it.

In the meantime, the following action is required. When someone comes forward for screening, if their record shows they are not yet due, sample takers and laboratories should check the screening history and last-recorded test date and recall interval to ensure that eligible people are screened and not turned away.
