The BreastCheck Programme provides free mammograms to all women aged 50-64. A priority of the BreastCheck Programme at present is to maximise national uptake in the 50-64 year age cohort.

It is my intention to extend the upper age range to include the 65-69 age cohort as soon as possible in line with available resources.
