Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
BreastCheck and National Cancer Control Programme: HSE
BreastCheck Screening Programme and Improving Outcomes for Breast Cancer: Discussion
Professor Risteárd Ó Laoide:
I defer to my clinical colleagues and perhaps Professor Hill could come in here but the majority of cases are coming from the GP service. Some of them may come in the hospital itself from inter-consultant transfer. A patient that comes in for something else and then is identified as having a potential breast cancer would then be transferred within the hospital. However, the vast majority are from the GPs.
