Dear Minister,
Health and Social Security Panel Breast Screening Service
Following the recent news that a review had been conducted of the Island's breast screening service as a result of concerns regarding the detection and diagnosis of breast cancer, the Panel are keen to ascertain further information on this matter. Please can you provide/confirm the following:
• A copy of the report produced by The Royal College of Radiologists and the British Society of Breast Radiologists.
• An explanation as to why the Panel was not made aware of the review in confidence.
• Evidence to support the Minister's expressed views that that the errors made by the breast screening service are within an accepted margin.
The Panel would be grateful if a response to the letter and the requested information can be provided to the Panel by Monday 8th July.
Yours sincerely,
Deputy Louise Doublet
Chair, Health and Social Security Scrutiny Panel
