⁽¹⁾ This is the number of women in the resident population less those with recall ceased for clinical reasons. ⁽²⁾ Not available. Notes: 1. Data for 2003 to 2006 have been aggregated to match current primary care organisation boundaries and need to be treated as estimates. Data before 2003 are for Health Authority areas and are not directly comparable. 2. National policy for the cervical screening programme is that eligible women aged 25 to 64 should be screened every three or five years (women aged 25 to 49 are screened every three years, those aged 50 to 64 every five years). 3. Data prior to 2002 are estimates, original data were based on last test with a result, not last adequate test (as used currently) and have been adjusted to allow for this. 4. Data prior to 1999 has been revised from published data, to not exclude from the eligible population (denominator) women whose recall was ceased due to age or other non-clinical reasons.
