Leaders' Questions (24 May 2018)

Dara Calleary: As I stated, BreastCheck has been independently and internationally verified as one of the two best screening programmes in the world.

If we, as a Parliament, did not scrutinise this statutory instrument, the third statutory instrument in a series, we would be accused of being grossly derelict in our duties.
