HC Deb 17 June 1966 vol 729 c341W
Dr. Hugh Gray

asked the Minister of Health what arrangements are being made to train technicians to carry out the cervical cancer tests on women aged over 34 years to be introduced by the end or this year.

Mr. K. Robinson

In all areas Hospital Boards are aiming initially to provide, as soon as possible, a routine screening service for women aged 35 and over. The courses for pathologists and technicians at the five special centres are continuing and in addition training is now being carried out in laboratories in all regions.
