HC Deb 18 January 1988 vol 145 c225W
Mr. Beggs

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what changes in cervical cancer screening procedures have taken place since the cervical cancer smear mistake at the Women's hospital, Liverpool, in 1987.

Mr. Freeman

Various changes took effect following an inquiry held by Liverpool health authority and the procedures are now in line with the national guidance in health circular (88)1, which was issued in January 1988. A copy of this circular has been placed in the Library.
