6:02 am
i was really disappointed because i look back and i think everything that happened since could possibly have been avoided or lessened. all of the horrible treatment, the traumatic journey, it may of the horrible treatment, the traumaticjourney, it may never have had to have happened. the impact could be less than it was if i had the mammogram in 2013 when i was 70, but i never received a letter. a breast cancer support group meeting in surrey last night. many of these women owe their lives to detection of the cancer early by screening so they understand the enormous consequences of the
6:03 am
government's announcement.” enormous consequences of the government's announcement. i am shocked to think there is an awful lot of women out there that have been missed. and the consequences of them having been missed can be terrible. i just them having been missed can be terrible. ijust think it them having been missed can be terrible. i just think it is them having been missed can be terrible. ijust think it is really sad andl terrible. ijust think it is really sad and i wonder what happened. at what point was picked up and why did they not pick it up earlier? the institute for public policy research says there were signs something was wrong. a recent report in the nhs highlighted a proportion of 60— 70 rods accepted an invitation to be screened fell to the lowest he yea rs. screened fell to the lowest he years. —— olds. it says health chiefs should have examined it earlier to see what was happening but it will now be part of an independent review.|j but it will now be part of an independent review. i feel extremely sad for the women affected by this colossal administrative disaster,
6:04 am

6:06 am
affected the us election, possibly. the eu referendum as well is accused of this. they deny any wrongdoing but that is the crux of the issue with cambridge analytica. we know what they did. what are they now saying they are saying because of the media coverage and all of the accusations put to them, the reputation is shot. we have a statement which is very long. it is on your screen now. that makes sense. if you have a run of so many bad headlines, customers and suppliers will not want it. mps are concerned that the data needed for various investigations, facebook are
