Text

I thank the Minister. I am concerned that Target Ovarian Cancer has found that 50% of women in Northern Ireland think that their cervical smear test will detect ovarian cancer. Will he commit to meeting me and Target Ovarian Cancer to discuss that further, as well as other action that we can take in order to improve outcomes for women who are diagnosed with ovarian cancer?

Assessment

Not analysed

This is the same MLA’s follow-up within the exchange on their own question. It is analysed together with that question and is not counted separately, so one question is never counted twice.
