Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion
Mr. Damien McCallion:
When Dr. Scally made us aware of the issue, we immediately had conference calls with the laboratories to get assurance about the laboratories they are using. We are also seeking additional laboratories for capacity. One additional laboratory has requested to work with the programme. We go through a process to approve it with regard to its accreditation and so on.
