Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Update on the CervicalCheck Screening Programme: Discussion

Dr. Ronan Glynn:

That facility is in place. There should be information on the national immunisation office's website, , but I will follow that up afterwards to make sure information on that is available. That facility has been in place for years because, obviously, with the low uptake, there have been parents of older girls who, for whatever reason, chose not to take up the vaccine in a given year and subsequently changed their minds.
