aginnt This is INSANE!! Get the women in for these exams ASAP!

That's 986,000 women who could be saved from needless treatment and stress. Screening has never been shown to save lives, this program is wasteful.

I was lucky to still have mine done, rescheduled and at a different hospital

Not been able to see a gp for months. I now have to pay for a private prescription for my bp meds despite having paid for pre pay. fuckthenhs

I'm going to be very controversial & say I'm not surprised. Mammograms are horrendous bit like medieval torture,the portacabins are awful & like a cattle market. Men you ain't got a clue ! On saying that ladies you still got to go 😩

Disgrace

Blame yourselves. If it wasn't for you and the government scaremongering for months

HMS_Indomitable Also Sly News, you see the problem.

You all clapped for the NHS.

The ones making the decisions are all on private health care so nothing has changed for them! Those of us that the NHS was invented for will be the only ones that suffer once again!

YOU LOT ARE RESPONSIBLE

That hardly surprising because when the cornovirus lockdown happened on March 23 Cancer patients were given a death sentence by hospitals stopping chemotherapy treatment's so one million breast screening were missed and women who were due a breast screening didn't have one.😰
