Ms Averil Power:

According to figures published by CervicalCheck last week, for example, I understand that levels are back at 80%, which was where we were before Covid-19, that is, 80% uptake for people who are invited to participate. They have cleared the backlog though I know there are still backlogs in the breast screening programme which they are working through. In terms of public support, while it is awful to say there is anything positive to come from what Vicky Phelan or the other women who died as a result of the CervicalCheck crisis went through, one of the positives is that they really highlighted the importance of screening and how important it is for patients to take up that invitation, and it was something Vicky was very passionate about. That has helped but there is still a lot of work to be done, particularly with those from disadvantaged communities where the take-up traditionally has been lower and has not been improving in the way it should be. Ms. Morrogh may want to add something on the data, if that is okay.
