They have Breast Screening Vans, so why not Chest X Ray Vans too? It seems a no brainer to me. I guess it's down to money.

chrissa...you are absolutely correct.......money is diverted into stupid and useless projects like NHS24 and walk in centres instead of routine chest screening.

X-rays can cause cancer, so it might just be a bit self defeating.
