Mr. Donal Buggy:

One of the really important aspects of what happened over recent years in CervicalCheck was the insistence by anybody impacted that screening services are important. They continually pushed to ensure that women continued to attend the screening programmes and promoted the importance of screening and early detection. That helped significantly in ensuring public confidence was retained. That is not something that should be taken lightly, and as our colleagues from the NCCP and the screening services have attested, we must continue to ensure we promote our screening and early detection services so that the public can understand the message that we are promoting. Our cancer patients now and in future must be diagnosed as early as possible to ensure positive outcomes. The message must be continued, and although there has been some damage, much has been repaired. We must continue to promote the message of the importance of screening and early detection.
