Waterford women to protest at 6-year breast screening delay

WOMEN in Waterford are planning a rally later this month to highlight the continuing delay in rolling out the BreastCheck service to the city.

Six years after the facility was first promised, the area still hasn’t received a visit by one of the BreastCheck mobile screening units.

The choice for women is to wait until they suspect symptoms, or pay to have a private screening at a clinic in Kilkenny.
