I want it to be clear that a woman who has a test done privately can be referred to the public system. There seems to be mixing and changing in that regard.

For some reason, that was not possible for some time, but it is now once more the case that such a woman can be referred to the public system.

Who made those decisions? We often hear that "CervicalCheck decided", "It was decided" or "The HSE decided" but, of course, these are not amorphous beings. A person made that decision and, presumably, the same person can reverse the decision just as easily, which is worrying because there is no transparency about how the decision was made. Who made that decision?
