HC Deb 15 November 1974 vol 881 c276W
Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will issue a booklet outlining the technique of self-examination for breast cancer and arrange for its distrihution to women's clinics and general practitioners.

Dr. Owen

I have already undertaken to consider future action on screening for breast cancer as soon as the report of the joint working group studying this subject is received. The possibility of distributing booklets on the lines suggested by my hon. Friend will be one of the courses of action to be considered.
