The dismal science of the QALY? Why critics say it fails to treasure real life
In October last year, the federal Medical Services Advisory Committee came out in favour of a national lung cancer screening program.
It would, every two years, use low-dose CT scanning on current and former smokers aged 50-70.
Eligible smokers would have smoked at least 30 pack-years and either have continued to smoke or had quit within the past decade.
In the budget, the Federal Government announced the $264 millions funding for the program to start in July 2025.
