Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Update on the CervicalCheck Screening Programme: Discussion

Dr. Peter McKenna:

I am not disagreeing with that. I am merely trying to explain why in general terms it is better for individual people who have a significant abnormality that the three components of colposcopy, cytology and pathology can be discussed in an interdisciplinary manner in cases of diagnostic dilemma, which does arise from time to time. It is just a general observation.
