That is exactly my point. For those who cannot see the chart, it details that women participating in cervical screening go to the general practitioner, GP, clinics and the laboratory has a collection system involving a pre-addressed envelope being sent to the laboratory for processing. The laboratory reports are then sent to the GPs or clinics. Are the witnesses saying that when the work comes back from the three laboratories, which are essentially contractors to the HSE, nobody in CervicalCheck looks at the results from a medical point of view? Do I understand that correctly?
