Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Hunt (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 May 2018. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Breast Cancer Screening.


Breast Cancer Screening

That is a very good point. The original issue—or the original potential issue—was identified by people working on the AgeX trial for Oxford University, who then brought it to the attention of Public Health England in early January. One of the issues seems to have been the confusion about whether the scans stopped when someone turned 70 or whether they should carry on until their 71st birthday. That is why we think the original coding error happened, but obviously this is a matter for the review, and we need to learn everything from it.
