2009 year : Breast cancer screening failure 'shortened' up to 270 lives
 

[Up to 270 women may have had their lives cut short after the NHS failed to invite them to breast screenings, the Health Secretary has said.
Jeremy Hunt made the announcement as he said the Government will order an independent review into NHS breast cancer screening after 450,000 women in England failed to be invited for the screening.
Some of the women have since developed cancer.
Making a statement to the Commons, Mr Hunt said there could be 135 and 270 women who "had their lives shortened as a result", adding it was "unlikely to be more than this range and may be considerably less".]
