Sandra Osborne MP urges women not to ignore invite that could save their life

Sandra Osborne MP for Ayr has joined forces with the UK's leading breast cancer charity Breakthrough Breast Cancer and the ALL-Party Parliamentary Group on Breast Cancer to urge all women aged 50 and over in her constituency to attend their breast-screening appointments when invited.

Breast cancer is now the UK's most common cancer with over 40,000 women diagnosed with the disease each year.

Sandra said:

"Early detection and diagnosis are vital to improve a woman's chances of surviving breast cancer and screening is one of the most effective ways of ensuring this. It is essential that women take advantage of the Breast Screening Programme by attending when invited"
