HC Deb 26 January 1994 vol 236 c300W
Mr. Gareth Wardell

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will arrange for general practitioner contracts to be amended so that cervical smear tests are carried out every three years.

Mr. Sackville

Our first priority is to increase take up under the existing screening programme, as research shows that the majority of women who develop cervical cancer have not been screened.
