Public Accounts Committee

Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed)

9:00 am

Mr. Damien McCallion:

They were grouped through the programme. While the Department is leading on that - it is independent, rightly so, of the HSE - we have been working very closely with it in terms of the numbers to ensure that the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists is clear on the total numbers and the size of the task it is taking on. I think what was being referred to in the opening statement was the international expert panel, which is effectively being undertaken by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and the faculty of pathology in the UK. It is separate to the HPV project and the Scally review.
