Kate O'Connell: Mr. O'Brien said the following in his opening statement: "While it is recognised that no screening test is 100% accurate, cervical screening is the most effective method of reducing a woman's risk of developing cervical cancer."

Kate O'Connell: One of the witnesses spoke about the four laboratories in the United States being comparable within certain parameters. Many members have asked questions, so I just want to be clear. Is Mr. O'Brien telling us that he is happy with the standards of the three or four labs being used - it does not matter to me how many - both American and Irish? As head of the HSE, does he think, not in his...
