HC Deb 08 February 1988 vol 127 c75W
8. Mr. Geraint Howells

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he has any proposals to increase the level of provision of mammography units and cervical cancer screening units in Wales.

Mr. Grist

The number of mammography units in Wales is to be increased as part of the centrally funded breast screening programme. The provision of cervical screening is the responsibility of district health authorities. Some £800,000 a year of central funding has been allocated over the last two years to help authorities develop and extend the service they provide.
