Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Quarterly Meeting on Health Issues: Discussion

Dr. Colm Henry:

On the interval cancer audit, as I explained last week the purpose of it was to replace what was clearly a flawed audit - as described in the report - with something that is internationally benchmarked and informed in its design by patient involvement. We will have that work completed by the end of this year. The Deputy asked if anybody was left out of that. The RCOG report provided women with a diagnosis of cervical cancer up to 2017 with the opportunity to have their screening reassessed by RCOG. As for anyone left in a gap, there will, of course, be an opportunity for any individual requests to come through-----
