There's quite a lot to mention here.
There is not a "UK NHS". There are 4 NHSs in the UK, one each for Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, and England. They really are different, with different laws and staff and government departments.
When you're googling for NHS England policy you want to avoid nhs.uk, which is the patient facing stuff, and use inurl:england.nhs.uk When I do that and search for "Breast cancer screening" I get this page: https://www.england.nhs.uk/cancer/harnessing-innovation-in-c...
"Our series of annual Innovation Open Call competitions is an important way in which the NHS Cancer Programme identifies and supports the most promising innovations that will help us to deliver on our ambitions. The successful innovations will be tested and evaluated in real-world settings, so that those that will make the biggest difference can be rapidly implemented across the NHS. In this video, Professor Richard Gilbertson, Chair of the Innovation Expert Advisory Group, gives an overview of the competition and some of the exciting innovations."

Little bit optimistic there. NHS Numbers are a mess.
