Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Update on the CervicalCheck Screening Programme: Discussion

Ms Tracey Conroy:

There is no question of women being fobbed off. The Department places the highest priority on representations from members of the public. With regard to CervicalCheck, a small team of dedicated people in the Department respond to these representations. With regard to this case, the record demonstrates the timely and intensive engagement between the Department and the HSE in terms of following up on this issue.
