Campaign seeks support of every home

SIGNATURES will be sought from every household in Waterford in an effort to increase support for a date for the arrival of the BreastCheck screening service.

The campaign for the service gathered momentum on Saturday when hundreds of women turned out in the city centre for a protest march organised by the Women of Waterford (WoW) lobby group.

Now those behind the effort plan to organise a petition in support of BreastCheck for Waterford, and are also hoping for an urgent meeting with the health authorities.
