Is the National Screening Programme worth paying for?
A national programme to screen young people for the sexually transmitted disease chlamydia has been accused of failing to offer value for money. The programme is thought to have cost £100 million. The National Audit Office found duplication and inefficiency in the execution of the screening, whilst an independent report has also found weaknesses in the service. Why do some feel the programme should never have been funded in the first place? Jane talks to Peter Greenhouse, Consultant in Sexual Health at Bristol Sexual Health Centre, and Dr Nicola Low, Senior Lecturer in Epidemiology and Public Health at the University of Berne in Switzerland. | |
