Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
CervicalCheck Screening Programme: Discussion
9:00 am
Mr. John Connaghan:
The Chairman also asked a question about HPV testing and when it would come onstream. At this point, the plan is that towards the back end of this year we will introduce HPV testing after we have conducted the appropriate tendering and specification process. Dr. McKenna might want to say a few more words about the difference between HPV and cytology smear testing.
