"Wait for Screening Mammograms"

Breast screening results in North Lanarkshire are currently taking 6-7wks.  This is after I was delayed waiting for screening (current wait time between 10-14wks).  Is it okay to have an extended wait for both screening & results?  Are abnormal results prioritised or could I be potentially walking about with breast cancer for months?  How many women would think it acceptable to wait 6/7wks to then get a recall? 

I fully appreciate the lack of qualified staff.  What I don't understand is yet again we're back to blaming the Covid Pandemic.  I had a screening 3yrs ago.  Results took 3 weeks.  I believe that North Lanarkshire Health Authority is failing in its duty of care for every woman who uses the breast screening service.
