Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed)

9:00 am

Mr. John Gleeson:

I never told the State Claims Agency that all women had been informed, full stop. I told it that communications had issued in respect of all women, whose cytology reviews had completed, to their treating clinicians and we had assumed that the treating clinicians had informed the women, as the legal note from the teleconference. The meeting that has been referred to earlier, to which Mr. Breen and Mr. Connors refer, took place in March 2017. I was at it, as were a colleague of mine and a colleague of Mr. Breen's. We were not discussing communicating with women. We were discussing other matters.
