Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

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

9:00 am

Mr. Tony O'Brien:

In addition to everything else at which we are looking, there is to be a case management review. It is clearly the case, given that this was never escalated to me prior to my hearing about it on the RTE app, that the significance of all of this was recognised and identified to a sufficient extent. The Senator is right to identify that there was an event which should have triggered an analysis, an assessment and possibly a series of actions. We do need, as part of the totality of what we are doing - this will not be for the SIMT - to look at how such initiations of proceedings are used to inform our understanding of risk and issues and the success or otherwise of the processes that have gone before. I am actually agreeing with the Senator's point.
