Labour says raising the age limit for breast cancer screening is incredibly important. \xa0

The party's launched its "women's manifesto" \u2013 which includes improving endometriosis care.\xa0

It's also promising to extend the free breast cancer screening age to 74 \u2013 a National Party members bill promising that was drawn from the ballot box earlier this year. \xa0

Labour first promised the change in 2017. \xa0

Women's Issues spokesperson Jan Tinetti told Mike Hosking it should be celebrated, not challenged over when it should've happened.\xa0

\u201cWe know that we\u2019ve got cross party support in this. We know that this has been a strong campaign from all sides of the House.\u201d\xa0
