The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many mobile breast screening units have wheelchair accessible mammogram machines.

Answered by Andrew Gwynne

NHS England does not centrally hold the numbers of static and mobile screening units, or those that have wheelchair accessible X-ray machines. However, NHS England is fully committed to modernising the breast screening programme and removing barriers to accessing screening.
