| ¹ Although the breast screening programme now invites women aged 50 to 70, these figures cover women aged 53 to 64 as coverage of the programme is best assessed using this age range group as women may be first called at any time between their 50th and 53rd birthday depending on the logistics of the local programme. In addition, not all programmes had extended invitations to women aged 70 for the whole of 2005-06, although all had by the end of 2005-06. Eligible population is the number of women in the resident population less those recorded as ineligible. | |||

That this House welcomes Diabetes UK's campaign Your Vision; recognises that diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in the UK working age population; considers that all people with diabetes should have access to free annual retinal screening with a digital camera and that each primary care trust should have a systematic call and recall system to ensure that people with diabetes receive an annual letter inviting them for screening; notes with concern that Government targets of all people with diabetes being offered free digital retinal screening by the end of 2007 are not being met and as a result one in four (up to 470,000) people with diabetes in England are needlessly being put at risk of losing their sight; further notes that retinal screening is one of the most cost effective interventions known in medicine, with 90 per cent. of cases of retinopathy being treatable with early intervention; and calls on the Government to ensure that primary care trusts put in place the appropriate facilities and allocate the necessary budget to their screening programme to prevent people with diabetes from needlessly losing their sight.
