Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
CervicalCheck Screening Programme: Discussion
9:00 am
Dr. Stephanie O'Keeffe:
Yes. The doctors received letters that gave them the information; they received the guidance. As one can see from the audit process methodology, processes were in place to consult people on the whole thing. There may be some very genuine reasons within that because when the CervicalCheck programme was developing its approach to open disclosure and the intent was to give the information to women - this is something on which we will have to reflect in hindsight - it did envisage that there would be circumstances where it might not be either appropriate-----
