Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Update on the CervicalCheck Screening Programme: Discussion

Dr. Peter McKenna:

The increased referral in respect of HPV is variable. Some people have reported increased rates of 10% to 15% and others increased rates of 40%. If we can take the clinical referrals out of the colposcopy clinics, which currently account for 35% to 40%, the increased rate of HPV work should be accommodated.
