  • CI = confidence intervals. RLM:QR = refugee-like migrant: quota refugee.

  • a Screening rates for breast screening, and cervical screening offered, calculated for eligible women aged 45–69 years and 20–69 years respectively.

  • For percentages, confidence interval upper limits that exceeded 100% are printed as 100% in the table (as age/sex standardisation uses a rate-based method with no upper limit).
