Concerns have been raised that 60 per cent of women invited for potentially life-saving breast screening in Fleetwood have so far failed to make an appointment – just weeks before the mobile unit is due to be moved.

Ms Smith drove the campaign to have the unit returned to the town after it was re-sited in Lytham – however, so far only 40 per cent of those sent screening invites have taken up the offer.
