LISTEN BACK: 'Breast screening must be made available to women in their 70s'

Deputy Niamh Smyth is calling on the Minister for Health, Stephen Donnelly, to extend the breast screening age. The screening stops for women at the age of 69 years and Deputy Smyth says that because women are living longer, the screening needs to continue into their 70s.

Deputy Smyth spoke to the Wider View this week and she began by explaining why it is necessary to extend the age of screening for women.
