Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion

Mr. Damien McCallion:

On progress, in fairness we are only in the first quarter. Quarter four was the first quarter where actions were being undertaken. Dr. Scally has just done an initial review of the implementation plan and will be producing a report. Nothing at the moment is giving us concern regarding what is there and we have had discussions with Dr. Scally. Quarter one of this year is a key quarter where many of the actions are due to commence. The bulk of the actions are intended to be done in 2019.
