Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Cancer Screening Programmes: Discussion

9:00 am

Professor Risteárd Ó Laoide:

I am not in BreastCheck but I understand Deputy Kelly's question. I welcome what Deputy Kelly has said because it is critical. Professor O'Doherty has explained to the committee the level of interval cancers in the system. They are the cancers that have arisen for whatever reason. Probably 10% of these are errors while in 90% of cases when we look back we do not see anything.
