May 23, 2008 3:53 PM
Digital mammography is due to be rolled out across the country by 2010
Liberal Democrat MP for Manchester Withington, John Leech, has joined with Breakthrough Breast Cancer and the All Party Group on Breast Cancer to congratulate the NHS Breast Screening Programme on its 20th anniversary.
John Leech MP said: "I am delighted to continue to support Breakthrough Breast Cancer's Screening Saves Lives campaign and wholeheartedly congratulate the NHS Breast Screening Programme for its work over the last 20 years.
"This anniversary also highlights the next challenge for the breast screening programme - digital mammography. Digital mammography has the ability to save even more lives, producing better quality images and giving results faster. We must make sure that we have the infrastructure and support to allow the transition to be made seamlessly."
