HC Deb 07 December 1982 vol 33 c441W
Mr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list the preventive schemes, such as screening for hormone originated cancers, which his Department is presently researching for cost-effectiveness, in order to expedite and expand the general availability of frequent and regular screening.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

The only national screening scheme which is being researched for cost-effectiveness is embodied in the trials for the early detection of breast cancer taking place in Guildford, Huddersfield, Nottingham and Edinburgh.
