It will seem strange to the public that the HSE introduced a policy in 2013 and that five years later, parts of the HSE are proposing to implement it next year.

On the audit, we know that CervicalCheck introduced an audit for all diagnoses from 2014 onwards and that it also audited a batch from before then. As I understand it, currently in BreastCheck there is not an automatic look-back undertaken once there is a diagnosis. Is that correct?
