Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed)

9:00 am

Dr. Peter McKenna:

The short answer is that there were 14,500 phone calls, the vast majority of which have now been returned as of the end of last week. I think there were only about 200 phone calls outstanding. We expect that these will be dealt with this week. There are a further 50 calls that are not call backs. They are clinical consultations. These clinical consultations are much more detailed and involve a lengthy conversation with a consultant. These will take a bit of time to get through but the call back for the generality has been addressed.
