——requiring BreastCheck or prostate cancer treatment services. Services should be provided where they are needed. We would not be let take our cars on the road without passing the NCT but we are not as good when it comes to health services.

As somebody who has worked at the front line in the delivery of services, I am concerned about a number of issues. For instance, if someone has the use of crutches for one week, they can no longer be used by anybody else because health and safety regulations will not allow it. We need to evaluate where money is going in the health service because it is not always going to frontline support, as it should. I would like to know when all areas will have BreastCheck and screening services. I await the Minister's reply.
