Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion

Mr. Damien McCallion:

The Deputy will appreciate that I do not want to get into speculation, whether negatively or positively. We are focused on trying to have it introduced as quickly as possible. We have a detailed plan, but the critical path is ensuring we will have a partner and understanding what it can deliver within the timeframes. Speculation would be unhelpful in that regard, accepting that we all want to get there as quickly as we can.
