The
Public Health / Primary Care Action Group is a small team of consultants
from across the north west. The main purpose of the group is to
act as a networking mechanism for all public health / primary care
aspects of the screening programme. The importance of a region-wide
approach has been recognised, and the need to considerably improve
communication systems. Meetings provide opportunities for various
wide-ranging issues to be discussed and include such topics as:
| ·Boundary
changes |
| Quality
standards for health authority databases, user groups,

| Data
collection issues, KC53's (statistical returns), ceasing
recall |

care, coverage, language difficulties, helping people
