HC Deb 24 November 1987 vol 123 c177W
113. Mrs. Peacock

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services what further measures the Government are taking to ensure the establishment of an effective national breast cancer screening service by 1990.

Mrs. Currie

In addition to the extra £6 million made available this year, the Government's cash plans for the next three years include provision for the build-up of the breast cancer screening service and are sufficient to meet its continuing costs.

The financial allocations to regional health authorities for 1988–89 are still being considered, and I shall let my hon. Friend have the details when a decision has been reached.
