Ms Rachel Morrogh:

I am afraid I do not know the answer to the Deputy's first question. Now that CervicalCheck has resumed people who need three-month and 12-month screens are being included as a priority group and people entering the service for the first time are being included.

BreastCheck and BowelScreen representatives will come before the committee later and may provide more clarity. Certainly one of the issues is capacity in the hospital system and diagnostics. These are the assessments that people need after they get screened because, as Ms Clyne said, screening is not a diagnostic in itself. If people's access to screening and health care is limited because of capacity issues, this is something the ICS would be very concerned about. We need to address capacity in hospitals to ensure people's diagnoses of cancer are not delayed because of capacity issues. We need to get those screening services resumed as soon as possible.
