The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to support the provision of mobile breast cancer screening units.

Answered by Ashley Dalton

The Government fully supports the use of mobile breast screening units where they are deemed appropriate. Mobile units support reduction of health inequalities by providing access to screening in areas where local people have difficulty accessing static screening units.
