Sadly, more than 100,000 of women affected by this error have since passed away. It is not known how many women may have died as a result of breast cancer, or how many women may have died as a result of this error.
The Government has, however, pledged to set up a process to investigate the failure, to learn lessons and to look at compensating those affected.
If you have concerns that you may have been missed, contact your GP or local NHS Trust for initial advice or to find out what’s happening. If you’re already aware that you’ve been missed, and you think you might have been adversely affected as a result, contact us to speak to one of our specialist lawyers.
Usually, women are invited for breast screening every three years between the ages of 50 and 71. Women who were affected by the past issues with breast screening should have received a letter from the NHS informing them that they have been affected.
