Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure that all women (a) aged up to 72, and (b) who missed their final screening appointment will be able to access mammogram services within six months.

Any extra capacity being provided in response to this incident is being delivered in addition to existing capacity. The screening service for women aged 50-70 will continue to be delivered in the usual way.

All women affected who wish to have a breast screen will receive an appointment to take place before the end of October 2018.
