This morning, Lorraine Walsh appeared on "Morning Ireland" and spoke about the Scally report and her very valid concerns regarding the recommendations on quality assurance, which formed part of his inquiry and which she stated are instrumental in terms of her confidence in any of the possible CervicalCheck outcomes. She referred to the 16 laboratories uncovered by Dr. Scally as compared with the six original laboratories, and made the point that he may have discovered more if he had longer to carry out his inquiry. My question and that of Lorraine Walsh is whether the Taoiseach will insist that the HSE clearly state that it has absolute confidence from a clinical perspective that the results coming from slides that are sent abroad for testing are safe.
