Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed)
9:00 am
Mr. Damien McCallion:
I will be helpful. In my discussion with Dr. Scally, he clarified that it is his intention to do so. He will meet the CervicalCheck team and all of the people who have been involved in this. That is my understanding, but he can confirm that himself.
There is medical cover. There are consultants working in Dublin to deal with those medical calls.
Regarding the 209, there is the potential for more. We are notified on an ongoing basis of audits and cancers. If audits conclude, we will immediately make full disclosures to women. Once the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists commences the international panel, that will assume responsibility for all future audits.
