Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion

Mr. Damien McCallion:

I accept that. The highest risk group is that made up of women who require colposcopy. It is being prioritised and worked through. We are trying to work through the others using prioritisation, and we are also triaging for a laboratory that has experienced significant delays in order to move those tests through the system much quicker. It effectively prioritises in the same way that HPV screening will when it goes live.
