Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Cancer Screening Programmes: Discussion

9:00 am

Professor Ann O'Doherty:

That is the process. The Deputy is right, in that it is not automated, but it will be eventually once we reach a certain point. It is important to understand that we are judging through recent legislation what happened historically. No other screening programme in the world has done it. There is nothing that we have done in this programme that has not mirrored that experience. We are a small country with a population the size of greater Manchester.
