- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many health board trusts in Northern Ireland have introduced computer systems for rapid diagnosis of breast cancer.
- Answer
-
No health service trust in Northern Ireland has introduced computer systems for rapid diagnosis of breast cancer.

It is identical to the system used in the rest of the UK and has been operational in Northern Ireland for some years. All mammograms are read by fully trained radiologists.
