Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed)

9:00 am

Dr. Peter McKenna:

What will inevitably happen is that each month, there will be some women who will be diagnosed with an interval cancer. They will have been screened, the screening will have failed and they will be diagnosed with an interval cancer. They should be looked at and they should be informed. That will be done outside of the screening programme. How that is doing within the screening programme will await direction from Scally, which should report on that matter shortly.
