Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion

Mr. Jim Breslin:

No. The initial plan that would have been in place informed his position. It was in his and everyone else's interests to try to do it as quickly as possible. What was not as obvious at the time was that that plan would have to be torn up and rewritten because the challenges facing the programme were going to overwhelm the ability to deliver on it.
