Due to changes made to the official Scottish Parliament website at the start of 2011, our parser that used to fetch their web pages and convert them into more structured information has stopped working. We’re afraid we cannot give a timescale as to when we will be able to cover the Scottish Parliament again. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Michael Matheson (Scottish National Party) | Question S3W-40158
To ask the Scottish Executive what costs are associated with the cervical screening programme.
Shona Robison (Scottish National Party)
NHS boards currently meet the costs associated with the Scottish cervical screening programme, therefore this information is not held centrally.
However, as part of a cervical cytology laboratory review a detailed exercise took place to identify and allocate costs to cervical laboratory services. The total estimated costs across the cervical cytology laboratories only, as of May 2010, was calculated at £5,849,159.
