§ Mr. Ron Daviesasked the Secretary of State for Wales what facilities exist for the call and recall of women for the purposes of cervical cancer screening in each health authority in Wales at the latest available date.
§ Mr. Mark RobinsonGwent, Gwynedd and Powys district health authorities currently operate a manual call and recall service for cervical cancer screening. Following the allocation of an additional £400,000 per annum by the Welsh Office, all authorities are in the process of establishing a computerised call and recall service using the computers of the family practitioner committees. As a step towards this, the family practitioner committees in Clwyd, Dyfed, Gwent, Powys and South Glamorgan are already computerised.
