Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Waiting Lists and Screening (Resumed)
Mr. Damien McCallion:
This is a different set of circumstances from the situation that the Deputy referred to previously regarding cervical screening. We will need to monitor the take-up as we go. We can control some of that take-up and that is what we will try to do, with invitations and so on, to make sure that we align what is happening with invitations, general practice and also colposcopy, because treatment is equally important in ensuring that that space and access to that service is in place.
