Louise O'Reilly: Were they in the room when this was drafted?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: This is the seventh revision and it is the most up-to-date version. Perhaps Mr. O'Brien can advise us how many times it was updated when he was in charge of it. Dr. McKenna might also advise on what he would like to see on it instead of it stating that it may not be 100%.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: It would not have been revised during Mr. O'Brien's tenure.

Louise O'Reilly: I thank Dr. McKenna.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: That is a question I asked. Is there a difference between the levels depending upon to which laboratory the results are sent?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: As part of the monitoring, is there any distinction between where the samples are sent to be reviewed? Would the witnesses know whether there was a discrepancy-----

Louise O'Reilly: -----to be checked. If a test is carried out in America versus Dublin 8 versus Sandyford, is there a variation in the rate of false negatives between each laboratory?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: Sorry, yes. Is there a variation in the true positive rate between the laboratories?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: Which laboratories perform best?

Louise O'Reilly: What would be really helpful is if Mr. Gleeson would point me in the direction of the place where all of this information is published because this is very important information. I was going to ask a question with regard to the audits, and perhaps Mr. Gleeson would give us a link to the website where we can review all of this audit information because it is extremely important information....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: Is the information available per each laboratory? It may not be published. Will the HSE publish it?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: I am sorry, Chairman. How soon can that be done?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: Okay, so we could get it tomorrow. That would be very helpful.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: I know we will have another opportunity to ask questions. I want to home in if I can on who knew what, at what stage. I am reading from a letter that was copied to Dr. Henry and Mr. McKenna from a consultant gynaecologist and it is dated 22 August 2017. It states: "What has happened is totally inappropriate." That is referring to withholding of information from women. What I want to know...

Louise O'Reilly: My apologies, Chairman, but a significant amount of time was taken up with a very long and detailed explanation for which we are very grateful to Dr. Holohan, but it did use up a considerable amount of time. Could I have Mr. O'Brien’s and Mr. McKenna's view on that?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: That serious issues were raised with senior members of Mr. O'Brien's organisation, and he expects us to believe that they chose not to tell him and that he was not informed. Does Mr. O'Brien consider that important information, which we are now all here talking about, was withheld from him, or would it be routine and he simply did not ask? I am curious to know because, as previously...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: Is this not something Mr. O'Brien thinks he should have known about?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: I am sorry about this, Chairman. When Mr. O'Brien found out on the television, as he has told us - I said that stretches credibility - did he then start asking questions? Is he aware of this correspondence now? Where did he go when he started to look for this information?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: Since this correspondence refers directly to that case, and the withholding of information and all that goes along with it, could I have Mr. O'Brien’s view on it now?
