Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

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

9:00 am

Dr. Jerome Coffey:

It is worth saying the programme has a responsibility and duty of care to the patients on the programme, and it fulfils those obligations notwithstanding the comments made about disclosing information and review. To my mind, the best long-term outcome from what we are learning here is that we have an integrated data programme and, with respect to legislation and regulation, we have full access to all data on all cancer patients.
