Ms Susan Clyne:

I will speak to the cancer screening services. The IMO is currently in discussion with the HSE about how screening will come back into place, particularly cervical screening through general practice, as well as other screening services. The screening services were not cancelled on the basis of any agreement with the Government. It is important to remember all non-urgent care, as well as private care, was cancelled across the system. This was right across the system and it did not just affect appointments for private patients.
