answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/04/2024 answer text <p>In Leicestershire and nationwide, women with a very high risk (VHR) of breast cancer due to family history may be offered screening earlier and more often, as part of the NHS Breast Screening Programme.</p><p>Women formally identified as eligible for VHR breast screening are referred to the National Health Service breast screening service associated with their general practice. They are eligible to be screened from the age of 25 years old upwards, and should be invited every year. The diagnostic screen includes mammography or magnetic resonance imaging, depending on age and risk criteria, and is therefore not the same as the routine breast screening service. To support screening of VHR women, a new central database is planned to ensure all referrals reach NHS breast screening services.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 18/04/2024 14:59:30 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
