Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

BreastCheck and National Cancer Control Programme: HSE
BreastCheck Screening Programme and Improving Outcomes for Breast Cancer: Discussion

Professor Fidelma Flanagan:

Equity of service is our number one priority. It is one of our biggest and strongest points in BreastCheck. All our mobiles are fitted out for wheelchair access. In our static units, when people are recalled to assessment we provide special extended time periods to allow for special needs in terms of how we do the mammogram. We really reach out in this area to try to be an equitable service and I think we have achieved that. It is something we are actually quite proud of.
