I fully respect that.
The report states: "Both laboratories do have CAP (College of American Pathologists) accreditation which they view as being equivalent." Is it written down anywhere that people in the HSE viewed it as equivalent? Did anyone in the HSE or the CervicalCheck service bother to run a slide rule over it to see if the accreditation was the same, equivalent, different or even substandard? Without a time machine there is a very little that we can do if the accreditation turns out to be substandard. It is very disturbing that people in very senior roles within the HSE and the screening programme appear to have been not bothered in the slightest about the accreditation. Did Dr. Scally find any evidence-----
