Breast screening services in north west reduced next week



Breast screening services will be operating at a reduced capacity across the north west next week because of the Covid restrictions.

Some units are temporarily closed due to Covid-19 and resources are being concentrated on women who are deemed to be at a higher risk at this time.

The national screening service, BreastCheck, is asking women who are already scheduled for a follow-up assessment from January 4th to attend as planned on the day and time given.

Women who have booked for routine breast screening before January 11th will be contacted by their unit and offered a new appointment.

Further information is available on breastcheck.ie or freephone 1800 45 45 55.
