Cancer Screening Programme: Motion.
I do not agree with Senator Feighan's allegation that women's lives are being put at risk. There is an alternative to breast screening, which I have outlined. However, there is a huge amount to be gained by screening. Even if the Minister had money at his disposal to extend the scheme, the medical expertise is not there to provide it. It is, therefore, virtually impossible for us to do that.
