Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
BreastCheck and National Cancer Control Programme: HSE
BreastCheck Screening Programme and Improving Outcomes for Breast Cancer: Discussion
Ms Fiona Murphy:
I am not sure I understand the question in that there is no wait time. It is a two-year screening programme. Once a person is screened, she will get called again two years later. She is not waiting in between times. Maybe Deputy Lahart is talking more about symptomatic services. Somebody referred from her GP as an urgent case is expected to be seen within two weeks, I understand. Professor Ó Laoide might wish to comment on the symptomatic service.
