210. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Health the annual cost of extending the national BreastCheck programme to women aged between 65 and 69. [39261/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe BreastCheck Programme provides free mammograms to all women aged 50-64. A priority of the BreastCheck Programme at present is to maximise national uptake in the 50-64 year age cohort.
It is my intention to extend the upper age range to include the 65-69 age cohort as soon as possible in line with available resources.
