Catherine Connolly: Is Mr. Connaghan comfortable that it takes an interim report, on 11 June, for Dr. Scally to tell us that it is disappointing and unclear? Why do we need a report to tell us and the HSE that?

Public Accounts Committee: Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed) (14 Jun 2018)
