Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion
Mr. Jim Breslin:
I do not think that in the timeline in which the Minister made the decision, he received advice against it. Subsequently, over a longer period, different views have emerged. Some of the people who had a view at the time the decision was made changed that view subsequently. At the time, the Minister made the decision based on the advice available to him. He did not have advice to the contrary.
