Hon Dr AYESHA VERRALL: The Government is committed to improving the health outcomes for our hard-to-reach communities. The existing breast cancer screening programme operates as an opt-in model, where women choose to enrol for screening by calling their GP or an 0800 number. This relies on women knowing that they are eligible for free breast screening and making an appointment themselves. The new technology funded through Budget 2021 will better equip the programme to reach the 271,000 women who are currently eligible to access breast screening but are not currently screened. With more Māori and Pacific women dying from breast cancer compared to non-Māori, non-Pacific women, the new system will allow BreastScreen Aotearoa to identify and target groups of women who may not currently be part of the programme.
