Miss Melanie Johnson: The National Health Service Breast Screening Programme provides free breast screening every three years for
all women in England aged 50 and over. Women aged between 50 and 70 are currently invited every three years. Once women reach the
upper age limit for routine invitations for breast screening, they are encouraged to make their own appointment.
There are 85 breast screening units in the United Kingdom. These are specialised screening units, which can either be mobile,
hospital based, or permanently based in another convenient location such as a shopping centre. Approximately 80 per cent. of
the units are mobile.
In Northern Yorkshire, the breast screening service is comprised of two static sites, based in York, and three mobile units. For
East Anglia, Ipswich, Yarmouth, King's Lynn and Peterborough each have one static site and one mobile unit. Cambridge has one static
site and two mobile units, and Norfolk and Norwich have two static sites and two mobile units.
