The witnesses did not get the opportunity to respond on the screening that is happening abroad. The issue arose during the cervical cancer thing, but I think it is still a big concern for people. Screening needs to be timely and accurate, and people need to have trust in it. Anybody listening in who is worried should know that there are services there. They should contact their GP. If they are offered the opportunity to get a screening they should go for the screening and not put it off. The earlier these things are caught, the better the life chances are and the less impact it will have on the patient and their family.
