HC Deb 08 February 1965 vol 706 cc8-9W
80. Mr. Wainwright

asked the Minister of Health if he will give the number of trained technicians in cytology required to allow every woman at risk to be screened once in five years in the Sheffield Regional Hospital Board area.

Mr. K. Robinson

On the board's latest calculations, the equivalent of 20 whole-time technicians would be required to screen all women aged 35 and over. The board is going ahead vigorously with their training programme.
