If she didn't receive an invitation letter every three years, Delfina says she might not remember to attend for screening but feels it's important to go.

 



I know National Health gave me this reminder every three years. It is good because I try to make it at least every three years, otherwise perhaps I wouldn't bother, you know. Sometimes years pass by and you realise then if you have a reminder because it makes it a little bit easier. I don't often, probably I should check them more often, by now, I don't know if after a certain age I don't know, you feel them more often then every three years.

Every three years. So you have been going every three years?

Yes. As soon as I got their leaflet. I make sure that I get time off.

Do they give you the appointment or do you have to ring and make an appointment?

No they give you the appointment. You know they send you the location of the premises. It is quite well set up. And they give you an appointment and of course you have to wait a little time, not everything goes to the minute. I don't think it is longer than 20 minutes you are there that time. So that is okay.
