Debate

Breast Cancer Screening: Women Over 70

Contribution

My Lords, I thank the noble Lord, Lord Palmer, for raising this and my noble friend the Minister for raising awareness about one of the largest age-extension trials. It is true that it will give us results, but I was not aware that the final report would be available in 2027; I was under the impression that it would be by 2032. Can my noble friend confirm that the final report on age extension will be available by 2027? In the meantime, given that international professional guidelines support regular screening for women over 70, could we consider regular screening for women in the community when we establish neighbourhood health centres?
