affected by this incident. All women registered with a GP will receive a letter
by the end of May outlining how they can access the helpline and take up the
screening offer if they wish. More than 206,000 women will receive a letter
telling them about the issues.

that they will be sent a catch-up invitation for a screen by their Breast
Screening Service. Women who were between 72 and 79 years on 1/4/2018
will be given information and offered the chance to make a self- referral via
the dedicated helpline.
· All women affected who would like to take up the invitation for a screen will be
offered an appointment by the end of October 2018.

incident. Information, including on the potential benefits and harms of breast
screening for women in this age group, is available to support their choice of
whether or not to take up the offer of a re-screen.
