Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion

Mr. Damien McCallion:

Some of those requests are not just from people in the 221+ group. Any woman is entitled to seek access to her slides so there would be a mixture of people who are in the 221+ group and people outside it. That is just the total number. We would have a breakdown, if the Senator wishes to see it, of those who are in the 221+ group and those who are not. That is the total number of requests. If anyone requests their slide, there is a process and a protocol to deal with it and we will try to work with the laboratories to expedite it as quickly as we can.
