Mr. O'Brien said the following in his opening statement: "While it is recognised that no screening test is 100% accurate, cervical screening is the most effective method of reducing a woman's risk of developing cervical cancer." I have to hand a couple of studies from recent years that suggest cervical screening is an effective method to reduce the incidence of such cancer but Mr. O'Brien has claimed that cervical screening is the most effective method. Is that a true statement?
