Baroness Merron (Lab)
Part of the 10-year plan, as we move from analogue to digital, will be ensuring that digital exclusion will not be a barrier. As I mentioned in response to my noble friend, it is indeed the case that women aged 71 and over can have screening every three years, and that can happen by women calling their local breast screening service to ask for an appointment. In other words, analogue is still possible, not just digital.
Lord Kakkar (CB)
My Lords, I draw the House’s attention to my registered interest as chairman of King’s Health Partners. Is the Minister content that sufficient resources are applied to the molecular characterisation of screen-detected breast cancer in such a way that those over the age of 70 who have breast cancer detected are appropriately treated?
