HC Deb 08 July 1987 vol 119 c167W
Mrs. Peacock

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what percentage of local health authorities have an adequate recall system for smear testing.

Mrs. Currie

Ninety per cent. of health authorities report that they have adequate recall systems for cervical cancer screening. Several other authorities have systems covering part of the district. In the remaining areas a number of individual general practices operate their own recall system.

All health authorities should have implemented computerised call and recall systems by next spring.
