People aged 54 will now automatically receive a home test kit every two years by post. The faecal immunochemical test (FIT) checks for blood in a small stool sample, which can be a sign of bowel cancer. The expansion to people aged 54 years means an additional 830,000 people in England will now be eligible for the screening test, with London, which has the lowest uptake in the country, amongst the first places to roll out to this age group.
