Cancer Treatment Services: Statements (Resumed).
The Minister of State and the Minister, Deputy Martin, have played a key role in the implementation of BreastCheck, the national breast screening programme. Under phase one of this scheme, 83,000 women were screened in the eastern region, the midlands and the North Eastern Health Board area. There is no doubt that this will have a huge impact on society in the future. Many people have been identified as being at risk and, in many cases, their lives will have been saved as a result.
