Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Damien McCallion:
With Dr. Doherty, I met the Public Health Agency in Northern Ireland. Dr. Doherty was in her old role in Northern Ireland and kindly joined us before transitioning. It is in the process of moving from four laboratories to one. The timing is a challenge for it. From that meeting, there is no significant capacity available there to address our requirements. We have also had discussions with agencies in other parts of the United Kingdom, including Scotland.
