Public Accounts Committee

2017 Financial Statements of the HSE
2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Department of Health

9:00 am

Mr. Jim Breslin:

No. It is a clinical audit, not an administrative audit. It is a clinical audit within CervicalCheck. The discussion which Dr. McKenna was a party to about how that should be dealt with appropriately over that period is not simply an administrative matter, it is a clinical matter. Dr. McKenna outlined both the decision on the audit and how the clinical management of cases continues over that period. That is the nature of decision-making in the health service. Clinical decisions will be made.
