Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion

Dr. Peter McKenna:

I am not saying that they are unnecessary but that they would be better directed to a general gynaecological clinic if one could get access to those quickly. The programme has an educational component about what a normal cervix looks like and individual colposcopy clinics are reaching out to their catchment areas to educate those general practitioners who would benefit from it.
