[Year] April 2000 [Description] Scottland: An investigation into why thousands of women were suspended from a cervical screening programme has found that nine died from the disease. The figure was revealed in a report into the way three health boards - Tayside, Forth Valley and Fife - managed their cervical screening services. The authorities admitted at the end of last year that nearly 15,000 women were incorrectly left off a list for smear tests. The problem arose with a computerised system which calls women aged between 20 and 60 for routine examinations. Women who failed to respond to three invitations for smears before 1994 were suspended from the system. This meant they were not invited back for screening again - which is against national guidelines. [References] BBC News April 26, 2000 [Name]
