Ms Mary Jackson:
When the commitment was made, the scheme would have been demand led, with women presenting to their GPs for repeat smear tests. All I have in my records is that the cost of a smear test is roughly €100, which includes the GP element and the cost of the smear analysis. I do not have any figures on the estimated number of women involved because those data have not been provided to me.
