Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion

Dr. Peter McKenna:

There is a process under way to establish the correct way to conduct an audit of interval cancers. This is taking place in the various cancer programmes. This process has begun and it will make recommendations as to the best way to audit interval cancers irrespective of the methodology of screening. Irrespective of whether it is cytology or HPV, the process will be the same, should be the same.
