Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Use of Private Hospitals

Ms Susan Clyne:

On CervicalCheck, we hope to be able to return to that screening. The delay is to ensure that all parts of the system are working together. While tests can be carried out safely in general practice, we cannot do a lot of tests and then find there is not the capacity within the hospital to call back women who need to be seen. It is because screening is done at multiple locations, and the more complex the case, the more locations the woman may have to go to.
