Bowel cancer screening programme to be reviewed

From Morning Report, 7:55 am on 14 February 2018

The long-awaited national screening programme for bowel cancer is to be reviewed. It follows the admission yesterday that 2,500 people who were eligible for screening as part of a pilot programme were not sent invitations enabling them to be screened. Three went on to develop bowel cancer and one died. RNZ health correspondent Karen Brown joins Guyon Espiner with the details.
