Written Answers. - Cancer Screening Programme.
BreastCheck, the national breast screening programme, commenced in February 2000. Phase 1 of the programme covers the Eastern Regional Health Authority and the North-Eastern and Midland Health Boards. Screening takes place on an area by area basis by district electoral divisions. My Department has asked BreastCheck to investigate the case referred to by the Deputy and reply directly as a matter of urgency.
