This woman said she would pay for a breast exam but she wanted to have it done in the facility where she had free exams up to the age of 64. She was told she could not do that. It is unbelievable how this country can be run in silos. She was willing to pay money to BreastCheck, and the medical personnel could have examined all of her screenings to date.She would have liked to have been able to do this. I suggest the Minister does this. One of the advantages of the free BreastCheck service is that a letter is sent to every woman, but those aged over 64 stop getting letters to remind them to avail of the free BreastCheck. Many issues surrounding BreastCheck need to be dealt with efficiently. I thank the Minister and I wish him good luck.
