Prior to 2002 data for women aged 50-53 cannot be identified so coverage is presented for women aged 50-64. 2 This is the number of women in the resident population less those with recall ceased for clinical reasons. Notes: 1. Data prior to 2006 have been estimated to match current SHA boundaries. 2. Data from 2002 to 2006 have been estimated to match current Primary Care Organisation (PCO) boundaries. 3. Jarrow constituency is within South Tyneside PCT, we are unable to identify Jarrow separately. 4. The coverage of the breast screening programme is the proportion of women resident and eligible that have had a test with a recorded result at least once in the previous three years. 5. The breast screening programme was extended to invite women aged 65-70 in April 2001. 6. The last unit began inviting women aged 65-70 in April 2006 and full coverage should be achieved by 2008-09.
