To ask the Secretary of State for Health what his policy is regarding screening for aneurisms; and if he will make a statement. [115249]
Ms Blears
The United Kingdom national screening committee makes recommendations to Ministers on all aspects of screening programmes. It is currently considering the resource costs and work force implications of implementing a screening programme, following the publication of a multi-centre study funded by the Medical Research Council last year. Until these recommendations are received, screening should not be started.
