Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion

Ms Anne O'Connor:

Yes.

In terms of the transition, as we discussed earlier, one of our key challenges is that we are trying to transition to a new model yet we have to address the old model, so we cannot transition until we address the backlog. There is a tension there in terms of moving to something without clearing the backlog. I will ask Mr. McCallion to talk about the other elements of that.
