Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion

Mr. Damien McCallion:

It is probably not an issue with EU procurement. It is simply whether we will get people who will be prepared to work with us in this country. That is the challenge. From our pre-tender market engagement before Christmas, I am more confident that we will secure people who will work with us. We have done a lot of work to try to ensure that we get providers that will work with and help us to deliver HPV primary screening.
