The use of a Mobile Cervical Cytology Unit
Continuing publicity is essential if full advantage is to be
taken of the cervical screening facilities available to the general
public through the family doctor and the local health authority
well-woman clinic. Hence the intensive publicity drive undertaken
throughout the Borough in the spring. The knowledge that probably
well under half the women in the most vulnerable groups are
screened regularly also prompted the acceptance of the offer of
a leading voluntary organization in this field, the Women's
National Cancer Control Campaign, to lend a mobile unit to the
Borough free of charge for a period of four weeks in September.
