Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Damien McCallion:

The context for the discussion came from a document from Dr. Gráinne Flannelly, which we only saw overnight. I am not aware of what happened at the time. I need to be clear that I personally was not around at that stage and to be clear about how that was engaged. I cannot give any more information on the historical context. Our focus is to resolve this in the future and ensure we deal with the backlog.
