Breast Screen is a great program over all but it has its problems. Here the main issue has been refusing to refer call backs to the local health service and persisting in requesting women travel to Maroondah for follow up scans. That's motivated purely by finances and funding which Ive long found to be the shabby side of the process.
Like many federal and state govt funded initiatives, they rely on numbers to keep the bucks coming in. Those of us who end up with a lobular diagnosis know how unreliable a mammogram can be, but I guess if it saves a few lives it's worth the irritation of having them nag for more business. If you unsubscribe you should find you are left alone, but it's curious that some people get no reminders at all.
