Manx Care suspends service until further notice
Routine breast screening on the Isle of Man has been stopped and Manx Care says it doesn’t know when it will restart.
No appointments will be made whilst ‘updates are made to the programme’ and it is ‘as yet unknown’ when things will go back to normal.
The service automatically invites women aged between 50 and 70 for screening.
Symptomatic breast clinics are unaffected and will continue to run as normal – anyone who is due to have a routine two-yearly screening mammogram will also receive an invitation in due course.
People who feel they have a problem are being urged to contact their GP or the Breast Screening Team on 642570.
Manx Radio has approached Manx Care for comment - the station has been told the health body has no more detail to add.
