HC Deb 27 October 1971 vol 823 c348W
Dr. Summerskill

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services why the 1970 Annual Report of the Chief Medical Officer to his Department contains no mention of the cytology screening of women.

Sir K. Joseph

I am not responsible for what the Chief Medical Officer decides to write in his Report, but there was a full Report in 1969 dealing with the first five years of the screening service.

As the figures are not otherwise regularly available the Chief Medical Officer is arranging for them to appear in Health Trends and in future reports.
