Specialist consultants dealing with women's health are not allowed to be part of the CervicalCheck screening programme. If a consultant feels that someone needs a smear test, he or she has to refer them back to their GP. CervicalCheck will not take any referrals or test results from a consultant dealing with women's health. No consultants are included in the GP programme, which is causing its own problems. I know of a case where a GP who was dealing with a patient for a number of months became concerned and referred them to a consultant. The consultant saw the patient within two days because the GP had contacted the consultant themselves and expressed concern. Within three days, the consultant had that person on an operating table because of the issues that had been identified. If that person had gone through the public system, they would have been waiting at least two or three months for what was deemed an urgent operation. There is something wrong in consultants with specialisation in certain areas not being included in the CervicalCheck programme.
