Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Scoping Inquiry into the CervicalCheck Screening Programme: Discussion
9:00 am
Dr. Karin Denton:
We knew that samples taken within six months were usually the ones that had actually led to the diagnosis of cancer. I stress that we know that in 2015 it set what we consider to be a non-evidence based time limit. What we do not know is whether it was reversed. We also do not know to whom exactly they wrote in the group of 221 women. I believe that is a fair summary of the position.
