Ruth Coppinger: Would Mr. O'Brien just answer the question as to whether every slide is looked at by two technicians.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)

Ruth Coppinger: This is a really important point of order. Mr. O'Brien has said that the cervical screening is only 70% accurate, that is really serious. When I checked the website it says there is a small risk.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)
Ruth Coppinger: Sorry it is extremely important for that to be clarified Chair because there is a 30% risk that a test does not mean anything. That is not accurate, the witness is trying to backpedal.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)

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

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

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)
Ruth Coppinger: Yes.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)
Ruth Coppinger: Can I suggest that we should get the answer on that?
