Government under fire over BreastCheck delay

A BREAST cancer survivor has accused the Government of discriminating against women in Munster by delaying the rollout of the national screening programme, BreastCheck, until 2007.

Marie Mooney from Cork, who had a breast removed two-and-a-half years ago, said: “We’re being discriminated against down here.”

She was speaking ahead of the launch in Cork of a campaign to speed up the rollout of the service.
