HC Deb 19 May 1988 vol 133 c515W
Mrs. Fyfe

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he has considered taking steps to improve the links between health services and local authority nurseries so as to offer health screening and health education for parents.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

I am not convinced that as presently organised local authority nurseries are the most appropriate places to offer health screening and health education for parents. As I announced last year, we are providing for comprehensive national screening programmes for both breast and cervical cancer.
