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.
