Ms Susan Clyne:

The CervicalCheck programme, which is back up and running, has always been outsourced mainly to the private system anyway. The HSE has prioritised women for callback based on clinical need. With the new HPV element to that test, the length of time to someone's next callback will be extended, but that is based on clinical evidence and we are quite happy with that.

On the other screening programmes, I do not know how they will address the backlog because we have not engaged on those particular programmes.
