Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion

9:00 am

Mr. Dean Sullivan:

Just to pick up on the issue of the review of smears, I have been advised that each smear, every single one, is subject to a full read by a cytologist and then to a second review by a separate cytologist. That is my understanding of the position across all the labs across the full life of the screening programme since 2008.
