(1)This is the number of women in the resident population less those recorded as ineligible. Notes: 1. Coverage is best assessed using the 53-64 age group as women may be first called at any time between their 50th and 53rd birthdays. 2. The coverage of the screening programme is the proportion of women resident and eligible who have had a test with a recorded result at least once in the previous three years (excluding those ineligible, e.g. those that have had a bilateral mastectomy) Source: KC63 The Information Centre
