HC Deb 26 October 1984 vol 65 c754W
Mr. Wareing

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what representations he has received in respect of the change in policy as a consequence of which cervical smear tests are offered every five years instead of every year; how he justifies the change; if he will return to the earlier policy; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John Patten

I shall let the hon. Member have a reply as soon as possible.
