Mr. Buchanasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what provisions now exist in Scotland for cervical smear tests for women at risk.
§ Mr. RossFacilities for such examination are now available throughout Scotland to all women with symptoms and also in some areas to women without symptoms. With co-operation between the hospital service, local health authorities and general practitioners I am sure that it will be possible to move towards a general screening of women without symptoms; and in order to determine the best way of doing this one pilot project has already started, and another is being planned.
