Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Scoping Inquiry into the CervicalCheck Screening Programme: Discussion

9:00 am

Dr. Karin Denton:

Yes. The definition of "laboratory" is not what one might think. It turns out that screening could be carried out first by a person in a facility which also provided services such as blood tests or histology results and then by a pathologist located elsewhere. We have further inquiries to make regarding the governance and accreditation of all of these services.
