Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Damien McCallion:
There is no impact on people’s care. I accept Deputy Bríd Smith’s point that we need to get to a point where we have a defined audit process. The Deputy described a range of options in different jurisdictions. The point of an expert group with patients, professionals and providers involved at the heart of it is to ensure we come up with a model for all that will work for the cancer screening programme but also for the persons themselves. We need to do that expeditiously. That was put in place in December following Dr. Scally’s review. It has met on several occasions already.
