Jan Tinetti: Labour Women's Issues spokesperson says raising breast cancer screening age limit should be celebrated - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

Labour says raising the age limit for breast cancer screening is incredibly important.  

The party's launched its "women's manifesto" – which includes improving endometriosis care. 

It's also promising to extend the free breast cancer screening age to 74 – a National Party members bill promising that was drawn from the ballot box earlier this year.  

Labour first promised the change in 2017.  

Women's Issues spokesperson Jan Tinetti told Mike Hosking it should be celebrated, not challenged over when it should've happened. 

“We know that we’ve got cross party support in this. We know that this has been a strong campaign from all sides of the House.”
