Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion
Mr. Jim Breslin:
In truth, that was happening on an ongoing basis and the position was changing by the week. The challenges the programme was facing were changing by the week. The potential work involved in dealing with factors other than the HPV test was changing by the week. There was an ongoing flow as the crisis - it was a crisis - evolved to take stock of where we were and what it meant for the HPV test. This and the backlog have changed as we have moved along.
