HC Deb 28 June 1976 vol 914 cc69-70W
Mrs. Chalker

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when he expects to receive the results of the pilot studies on the extension of National Health Service breast screening tests.

Dr. Owen

I expect to receive shortly the report of the Breast Cancer Screening Trials Working Group which, as I announced in April 1975—[Vol. 891, c.9–12]—was set up to advise on the form the proposed trials on breast cancer screening should take. I will then consider future action in the light of their recommendations.
