HC Deb 23 July 1987 vol 120 c490W
Mr. Maxwell-Hyslop

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether his Department intends to make additional funds available in the current financial year to facilitate the provision of mammography facilities in Devon in addition to the updating of the Devon family practitioner committee computer so that it can be used for both cytology and mammography recall and monitoring.

Mrs. Currie

I refer my hon. Friend to my reply today to my hon. Friend the Member for Swindon (Mr. Coombs).

The South Western regional health authority has chosen Cornwall as the location for its first centre for breast cancer screening. Services to cover the remainder of the region are planned for the next two years; no additional funds for Devon are therefore required this year.
