Well, I guess they better dig up the “victims” so they can get their ‘compensation”.

It’s still better than the treatment they provided to toddlers. Adult women are not imprisoned and then killed in the NHS hospitals. Not yet.

In America the age for such screenings for women and men have been raised like 10-15 years.

The masters want people dying (and the estates surrendered to the State for more public welfare).

Around 450,000 women in England were not invited to screenings. Of these, 150,000 have died since and the remaining 300,000 are aged in their 70s.

Again, extremely sloppy journalism. They are trying to make it sound like a third of the women died from breast cancer. The important question is how many of the 150,000 died from breast cancer, but of course, that wasn't on the reporter's agenda, so they didn't bother to report it. Stupid.

I complain a lot about the NHS, but this is where I draw the line. I know that screenings are/were (I’m not sure the age, at this point) limited to age 50 and above. My SIL in Britain was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 49. She was angry that she hadn’t had the opportunity for imaging earlier. Especially as she knew that cancer screenings here started at age 40. But a simple notice in the newspapers and on the BBC TV stations should have sufficed to alert women of screenings. That the NHS is going to these ends is a sure sign that some Lefties have found another way to take NHS money away from the NHS. I would never want Socialized Medicine in this country, but this ‘outreach’ from the NHS is ridiculous.

Invited?

If they weren’t ‘invited’, but still wished to be screened???

Breast cancer survival rates in the UK are much lower than in the US. NHS bean counters have determined that annual mammograms for women over 50 are not “effective” so mammograms are only done every other year or longer. If a possible cancer is detected there are waits to see specialists and the very latest treatments are often not available. The result is that breast cancers are first detected and treated in later stages with poorer results.
