Andalusia Reports Breast Screening Backlog Cut to 108 as PP Blocks Inquiry and Junta Demands Amama’s Data

Political contention over accountability now defines the fallout.

Overview

  • President Juanma Moreno told Parliament that only 108 women remain pending follow‑up from an initial cohort of more than 2,200 after failures in the breast cancer screening program.
  • Moreno said there is over €1,000 million to fund corrective plans, a claim opposition parties dispute as they argue the 2026 budget lacks explicit backing for the announced measures.
  • The regional health service formally gave the Amama association 10 days to submit documentation on alleged cases after Amama cited nearly 4,000 affected women versus the Junta’s 2,317; Amama’s lawyer says the group has no obligation to hand over data.
  • With its absolute majority, the PP rejected a parliamentary commission of inquiry on the screening failures, while PSOE, Por Andalucía and the Mixed group pressed for answers and Vox advances a similar initiative.
  • Córdoba’s city council debated the crisis as FACUA detailed a severe delayed-diagnosis case, and the SAS signed a one‑year, renewable agreement with the Spanish Association Against Cancer to create a single contact channel for women in the screening program.
