Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion

Dr. Peter McKenna:

That certainly cannot be recommenced. Which one does one recommence? How does one review the slides? Should they be blinded? Should they go to somebody who knows the results already? These are the questions that need to be explored. I would not dispute for a minute that audit is an essential part of this. The place we are trying to arrive at is what is the best form of audit to do. There is a degree of urgency in starting that.
