This is important and I will read it again. It states that while CervicalCheck "supports the principles of open disclosure, it is recognised that there are limitations to its universal implementation, particularly for screening services where there is an inherent recognised error rate" and so forth. In its defence, CervicalCheck told the Department in 2016 that its approach to non-disclosure recognised there were limitations to its universal implementation, if the witness does not want to use the word "conditional". I am sure the witness has re-read this very carefully since, so does he believe CervicalCheck's approach and what it said it was doing was in compliance with the HSE's open disclosure policy?
