National Cervical Screening Programme: Statements

In regard to the outsourcing of testing, surely it makes sense that in a country this size we could provide in-house testing. Rather than spending considerable amounts sending samples abroad, we should surely be testing our cervical smears here in Ireland, thereby creating a bank of knowledge but also keeping the money that is going abroad for these tests in Ireland.
It makes perfect sense that there should be several laboratories in Ireland capable of providing these tests.
