Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists Independent Expert Panel Review into Cervical Screening: Discussion

Dr. Patrick Walker:

May I make an observation? I have had something on my mind. I gave an answer to Deputy Kelly when we were talking about concordant and discordant slide reports. I said that we did not ascribe concordant or discordant if there was no slide result, such as cases designated unavailable or missing. I misspoke when I included the word "mislabelling" in that sentence. I used it because we had been talking about that issue. I emphasise that it was an error when I said it, because the mislabelling issue had nothing whatever to do with the reporting of the slides which had been completed or with any of our individual reports. If one was to read the sentence as I spoke it, it could be misleading. I would just like to correct that.
