Breast screening is one of the key tools in identifying breast cancer at an early stage. It is currently offered to women between the ages of 50 and 70 on a three yearly cycle. Whilst nationally breast screening uptake is 70% this leaves 30% of women who have not taken this opportunity to attend screening and across differing areas the rates vary. The literature has identified a number of barriers that stop women attending their appointment including having caring responsibilities, appointments at times they can't make and the physical barrier of not being able to get there. It is this last barrier that is the focus of this feasibility trial that will assess the feasibility of providing a free bookable taxi to and from the appointment to assess whether this can increase screening uptake rate. The trial will assign women to either receive the current letter or an additional letter that lets them know about the free bookable taxi to get them to their appointment and back.
