Matters related to Medical Negligence, Open Disclosure, Cervical Cancer and Thalidomide Litigation

Mr. Damien McCallion:

Dr. Scally actually looked at the other programmes and there is a section in the report on the other programmes. Where any of the recommendations apply across all of the programmes, they will be applied across all four programmes, namely, the three cancer programmes and the diabetic retinopathy programme. Deputy Cullinane is correct that there is a much broader implication for some of those. However, as I say, Dr. Scally's report has a section on the other screening programmes in which he looked at those and where they are applicable. Some of the overall governance pieces clearly are applicable. The recommendations will also be applied and implemented across all four programmes.
