HC Deb 09 June 1997 vol 295 c348W
Mr. Hanson

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what assessment he has made of the availability of screening programmes via NHS hospitals for ovarian cancer in Wales. [2189]

Mr. Win Griffiths

I have made no specific assessment of the availability of screening programmes for ovarian cancer. Professional advice is that there is currently no screening test assessed as effective which can be used on a population basis.
