Public Accounts Committee

Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed)

9:00 am

Mr. Ciarán Breen:

I have personally examined the legal note and it is very clear. Senior counsel asked whether all of the women affected had been informed. The specific reply was that all women - I think I am on record to this committee in writing and saying this - whose smear was part of the audit had now been informed or assumed they had been informed by their treating clinicians. That is the exact reference in our note.
