Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
CervicalCheck Screening Programme: Discussion
9:00 am
Mr. Damien McCallion:
One of the options we are considering is asking the forthcoming international expert panel to look at it as part of its process, rather than have a range of processes. The director general has also mentioned that we have engaged with the faculty of pathology. Clearly, that was a vacuum. There was much analysis of laboratory results and different interpretations. We felt we needed to channel it into a formal process. We asked the faculty and hope to finalise tomorrow that it will provide support for the programme in dealing with that issue.
