Public Accounts Committee

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

9:00 am

Mr. Damien McCallion:

The RCOG audit will look at the cases of all women who were diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer, including those who may now be deceased. That is being operated by the Royal College in the UK, using services is Bristol, Scotland and various places. It is more comprehensive than just reviewing slides. It is also looking at the colposcopy and the overall treatment. The initial phase is to seek consent from people. While the review was commissioned by the Department, I do have the figures here and can share them with the committee.
