Is there anybody here from the HSE with authority over CervicalCheck? I ask those senior personnel who remain from the HSE make contact with CervicalCheck and ask that the contract be made available to the Committee of Public Accounts, if necessary on a confidential basis, but ideally on a public basis, so that we can examine a number of issues related to value for money, reporting, communication and so on which may or may not have been reflected in it.

I asked Mr. Breen specifically at the finance committee the other day if there were any terms in the contract that would give recourse to the State for what are unknown but likely to be very substantial costs relating to this crisis, including the cost of investigations, scoping, a commission of investigation, redress and so on. Is there anything in the contract which provides recourse for the Irish State in that regard?
