Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
CervicalCheck Screening Programme: Discussion
9:00 am
Dr. Peter McKenna:
I can see merit in it being done through the clinician. He or she would probably have a relationship with the patient that the programme would not. However, it was entirely predictable that false negatives would be found. The clinicians should have been brought on board at an earlier stage and their willingness to undertake this part of the work should not have been taken for granted. It should have been sought.
