I got mammogram reminders until I asked them to stop (as I am still having yearly mammograms with my surgeon, whose mammogram equipment is superior). I also suggested that asking why someone has not had their mammogram might be useful. If I had a bit more faith, this is one of the things that integrated health records could work on - percentage of positive diagnoses within 12 months of a mammogram, percentages of those without a check in more than three years etc etc. All I got when I spoke to Breastscreen to say I had been diagnosed and was having regular mammograms elsewhere was a fairly churlish 'so you want to be taken off our books, then?'. The answer was in the affirmative.
