Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists Independent Expert Panel Review into Cervical Screening: Discussion
Mr. Damien McCallion:
On the wider point, there is a commitment in the national service plan in respect of capital to develop a new national screening laboratory at the Coombe. That has gone to planning. It will comprise screening, research and education facilities. We have put up to ten positions in place in the Coombe. Many of these are still unfilled. There are challenges with regard to recruiting into that environment, as the Deputy has said.
