Breast screening funding for Scotland

Twelve million pounds is to be invested in upgrading breast screening equipment across Scotland as part of the Scottish Government’s £30 million Detect Cancer Early programme, which aims to increase the early detection of cancer by 25%.

The money will be used to replace analogue mammography machines with digital units over the next three years. Breast screening in Scotland is delivered via six static centres and 19 mobile units, and currently all but one of the machines are analogue.
