Overview
- The ministry has issued a formal requirement under Article 44 of Law 29/1998 as a step that precedes a contentious‑administrative appeal if there is no reply within one month.
- Requested information covers the past five years of breast, colorectal and cervical screening indicators, including coverage, participation, results and response times.
- PP-governed regions have refused to provide the data, arguing exclusive regional competence, the absence of an IT platform or the risk of political misuse.
- Officials say they will accept the indicators already available while the consensus reporting system approved in April is implemented.
- The move follows reports that thousands of Andalusian women were not notified of inconclusive mammography results, while several other communities have submitted data or signaled they will do so.
