Women in three areas of Merseyside are missing vital breast cancer screening appointments due to the lack of direct bus services.
Brenda Nasr, practice manager at Earl Road Medical Centre in Liverpool 7, fears that women from postcodes L7, L8 and L15 are missing appointments after screening was moved from The Women's Hospital to Broadgreen.
This is due to there being no direct bus route to the hospital, with a service that used to run along Earl Road to Broadgreen having been stopped.
