Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme

9:00 am

Mr. Patrick Lynch:

In discussions I had with the State Claims Agency it wanted to make very clear that the public reporting about a confidentiality agreement did not originate with the State Claims Agency and the HSE put on the record at the time its objection to it. That was a specific requirement of the other defendant, which was the laboratory. It would never be a case - that I am aware of - that we would seek to enter into something like that, or that the State Claims Agency would. The agency was very clear that it would like that message to be known more broadly.
