Mr. Damien McCallion:

I do not think any of us is saying that there is not more work to be done with the colposcopy service. I mentioned the units were all visited last year. The intention in January, through the women and infants programme, is to visit the units again. This is in order to understand the issues at a practical level, because each unit does not necessarily have the same issues in relation to how it is functioning, how it is supported and so on. That repeat visit of each individual site will also help to identify issues for each unit that can be addressed either locally or with support from the centre.
