Petitions

Following petition presented to house:

Breast screening

We, the undersigned Citizens of Victoria, draw to the attention of the Legislative Council that 61,000 eligible Victorian women who would ordinarily be scheduled for a breast screening have not received it.

Victorians know that preventative measures such as breast screenings are vital and potentially lifesaving.

We therefore request that the Legislative Council call on the Andrews Government and the Minister for Health to reverse their cuts to delivered breast screening services in Victoria and fully fund the program so all eligible women have proper access to this essential, life-saving program.

By Mr DAVIS (Southern Metropolitan) (5 signatures).

Laid on table.
