HC Deb 03 July 1998 vol 315 c314W
Mr. Stinchcombe

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what data from the Government's review of two-view breast screening have been evaluated in respect of future policy on the introduction of the two-view screening for every screening round. [48320]

Mr. Boateng

In light of recent research evidence, the National Screening Committee have been asked to consider the introduction of two-view mammography for every screening round. In addition to any increase in the detection rate, the Committee will consider financial and workforce implications and the benefits and practicalities of introducing such a change.
