HC Deb 19 February 1987 vol 110 c820W
Mr. Michael Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when he expects to publish the Forrest report on breast cancer screening.

Mrs. Currie

The Forrest report on breast cancer screening has been sent to the printers and will be published shortly.

Mr. Michael Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the latest estimate of the cost of introducing a national breast screening service.

Mrs. Currie

The Forrest report on breast cancer screening includes an estimate of the cost of introducing a breast cancer screening service. However, it would be inappropriate for me to quote extracts from the report in advance of its publication.
