BreastCheck Screening Programme and Improving Outcomes for Breast Cancer: Discussion

Ms Fiona Murphy:

Once a person gets an appointment, and if she gets called back for assessment - Professor Flanagan noted that a number of people will come back for assessment - that will be done within two weeks. If the person goes for surgery beyond that, that is within three weeks. It is a pretty quick process once somebody is in the system.
