Urgent question on breast screening to be asked in House of Keys

Monday, 13 February 2023 16:36

An urgent question on routine breast screening will be asked in tomorrow's House of Keys sitting.

It comes after Manx Care announced that non symptomatic breast screening is 'temporarily unavailable' while the programme is updated.

Douglas North MHK John Wannenburgh will ask the Health Minister why the service has been suspended and how many people it will affect.

He also wants to know when the service is expected to be back up and running and what updates are being done.

The House of Keys begins at 10am tomorrow morning.
