Public Accounts Committee

Matters related to Medical Negligence, Open Disclosure, Cervical Cancer and Thalidomide Litigation

9:00 am

Ms Mary Jackson:

This is not my area of expertise. My area of expertise is clinical indemnity claims. I am not sure if Mr. McCallion has figures for the cost of the additional screens. A policy decision was made by the Chief Medical Officer and the people in acute hospitals dealing with the CervicalCheck reports. A decision was made based on what was the best response for the women involved.
