Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Cancer Screening Programmes: Discussion

9:00 am

Mr. Damien McCallion:

The Deputy may recall that one of the issues with the cervical cancer audit was that it was incomplete in terms of the dataset around the number of women who were impacted. We worked off the 1,482 number and the National Cancer Registry was not involved. BreastCheck takes the totality of that. For various reasons, it is well in arrears in terms of the time to diagnose, the cancer registry and so on. At the moment, BreastCheck reports back to 2011. That is the year for which data is being worked through.
