Dr. O'Sullivan might be able to clarify the extent to which translabial scanners have been used? The Chair indicated earlier and the committee has received correspondence that indicated a specialist from the UK came to Ireland to train staff. We are getting mixed signals in that regard. The HSE statement suggests that both scanners in Cork and Dublin are up and running and are performing, and yet we were told by the women who were before the committee earlier that the scanner in Dublin is not operational, that there were technical issues and issues with the support and transfer of patients who had difficulty getting public transport to centres.
If they can, I ask our guests to explain to us what level are we seeing, especially with those two scanners in Cork and Dublin.
