Mid-west must wait for BreastCheck

WOMEN in the mid-west will have to wait another two years to avail of national BreastCheck appointments, Labour Health spokeswoman Jan O’Sullivan TD claimed yesterday.

BreastCheck has just been introduced in Cork and the unit there will also cover Kerry, Waterford and Tipperary South.

Ms O’Sullivan said a full national BreastCheck should be introduced without discriminating between different parts of the county.
