Breast Cancer Screening: Women Over 70

Contribution

I reassure the noble Lord that all these factors are taken into account. I would warn against complacency. To go back to my personal experience, my sister had regular breast screening and it was not picked up because of the type of cancer that she had. I am delighted that the noble Lord, Lord Vallance, is leading the work on looking at how we can better screen women and make sure that the work we do is the most effective and reaches the highest number of women possible.
