Routine breast screening for women in their forties?15 January 2004
A leading breast cancer specialist is calling this morning for routine screening for women in their forties. He says if the health service can't afford it, women would be willing to pay for it themselves.

At the moment you're only called for a mammogram every three years between 50 and 64.

Jenni talks to Kefah Mokbel, Consultant breast surgeon at St George's Hospital in South London.
