Cancer Screening Programme: Motion.

 

Those who are getting involved in BreastCheck are receiving excellent treatment. What is distressing for women in the rest of the country is the fact that they know some of us have had excellent treatment and they are not getting it. BreastCheck had a radio advertisement in which women were encouraged to take up their appointment and told how much better the level of survival is if breast cancer is detected early on. All over the country people's expectations were raised, but they were then not offered the opportunity to come forward and be screened.
