Mr. Buchan
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what provisions now exist in Renfrewshire for cervical smear tests for women at risk.
Mr. Ross
Facilities for the examination of smears for the detection of cervical cancer are provided for Renfrew-shire by the hospital authorities in Paisley. This service commenced nine months ago, and is now available not only for women attending as gynaecological in-patients and out-patients but also for women attending ante-natal clinics and family planning clinics in Paisley. A phased extension of this service to all women in the county in the age groups at risk is now being planned.
