Mr. Damien McCallion:

To give the Deputy some reassurance, the impact assessment process on colposcopy, to which Dr. Doherty referred, is looking at the wider issues, not just the immediate crisis but also HPV screening and beyond. The question is how we can create a sustainable service. That does not mean there are magic answers but at least we can examine that and try to plan around it as best we can in the coming years. I think that is what the Deputy was referring to in terms of colposcopy.
