Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

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

9:00 am

Dr. Tony Holohan:

The Deputy can ask the national screening service this. I do not know if the national screening service, itself, had a significant suspicion that this issue of open disclosure and the thing that the Deputy referenced in the note were likely to a substantial concern - that it had a substantial concern about that practice - because it did not know about it either. Events of recent days have shown that. The extent of that has only come to light through our investigations once we became aware.
