Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Update on the CervicalCheck Screening Programme: Discussion

Dr. Adrienne Duff:

Based on the evidence from the assessments that we carried out on an annual basis to ISO 15189 standards, which reviewed the competency of all the cyto-screeners, all the equipment involved in the cyto-screening testing, the release and issue of results, we confirmed to Dr. Scally in an email of 13 February that the cyto-screening activities carried out by MedLab Pathology at the Dublin and Manchester sites are accredited.
