Amharc ar fhreagraBreastCheck provides free mammograms to eligible women across the country. While BreastCheck has four fixed locations, much of the service is provided through mobile units that move from one location to another on an on-going basis, returning to a region every two years.
The date on which screening will end at a particular location is updated regularly on the BreastCheck website and publicised locally. Mobile units return to the same area (often to the same site where the location is suitable and available) in the following screening round.
