HC Deb 19 May 1986 vol 98 c39W
Mr. Barry Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will outline current provision in Wales for screening of breast cancer: and how this compares with provision in England and Scotland.

Mr. Mark Robinson

There is currently no national breast cancer screening programme in Wales, England or Scotland. On 2 July 1985 the Government established an expert working group to consider the situation concerning breast cancer screening by mammography and it is expected to report later this year.
