The Public Health Agency in Northern Ireland has issued a reminder to women to attend breast screening when invited. The agency states that taking part in the screening programme could save your life.

Breast screening is offered to women aged 50 to 70 in Northern Ireland every three years. The programme aims to detect breast cancer at an early stage when treatment is more likely to be successful.

The Public Health Agency is based at 12-22 Linenhall Street, Belfast. Further information is available from the agency.
