Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Impact of Covid-19 on Cancer Services: Discussion

Ms Rachel Morrogh:

I will take that question but may need to refer to one of my clinical colleagues on the call. As far as I know, the international evidence is not there to support extending it to the lower age group but the screening service constantly reviews evidence as it comes through the international channels and works with colleagues internationally concerning best practice. I assure the Deputy that these things are constantly kept under review and that screening programmes must be delivered under the guidance that is there.
