HC Deb 16 December 1985 vol 89 c78W
Mr. Cohen

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what progress is being made by the expert group set up in June to consider future policy on mammographic screening; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hayhoe

An expert working group on breast cancer screening was appointed in July. By the end of the year, it will have met on 4 occasions, considered 36 papers and taken evidence from a number of experts.

I expect to receive its report in the spring.
