Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion

9:00 am

Mr. Jim Breslin:

The cancer registry data is about women who have been diagnosed with cervical cancer. It runs down every last trail to try to establish that. It works with private hospitals, the Coroners Court and everywhere to try to get us the best population data possible. By definition, those cases that were with National Cancer Registry Ireland but were not with CervicalCheck were not audited. The core problem relating to this, on which Dr. Scally will have to put perspective, is the audit having taken place, the information not being disclosed to the women.
