Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Damien McCallion:

As I said, we are trying to focus on that. We need significant capacity to address this - there is no point in pretending otherwise - and we have been working on that. In recent weeks, we have started to make inroads into that. This has involved engaging with public and private laboratories throughout Europe and in Australia and the United States to try to find people who will work with us and help us to get through this.
