Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Damien McCallion:

Screening is slightly different in that we are screening a largely well population. A cohort of women who were identified have earlier recalls under the programme. For example, people are referred to colposcopy might have a priority. However, screening is different from, for instance, being on a waiting list for an acute hospital orthopaedic outpatient appointment.

Dr. Doherty might comment further on that.
