Dr Sarah Hauxwell, Clinical Director for Core Clinical Services, and Lead Cancer Clinician, UHMBT, said: “The decisions around location of breast screening vans was made to ensure as many women as possible across the area had access to breast screening. We have continued to work with NHS England and Improvement as commissioners of the service, to secure an additional breast screening van.
“As a result, we are pleased to share that we will be providing a mobile breast screening service in Fleetwood from the end of March 2022 with appointments bookable at this site from 4 March.
“We would urge all women who are invited to make an appointment for breast screening to take up the important opportunity as soon as they can.”
