HC Deb 23 April 1985 vol 77 c409W
Mr. Merchant

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many women in 1984 had cervical smear tests under the National Health Service.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

In 1983, the latest year for which information is available, the number of National Health Service cervical cytology tests performed in England was 3,045,839. The number of tests may not correspond exactly to the number of women tested but we do not hold centrally information the number of women screened.
