- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Supplementary Report of Scoping Inquiry into CervicalCheck Programme: Discussion (4 Jul 2019)
Alan Kelly: It is not credible to me that there is not a date. There has to be a date.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Supplementary Report of Scoping Inquiry into CervicalCheck Programme: Discussion (4 Jul 2019)
Alan Kelly: Dr. Scally might reflect on it. When it came to quality assurance and accreditation, we understand that he would have investigated the laboratories, unlike the case when he went to MedLab in January, took its word and subsequently went through the process that he outlined, which is confusing to the public. I am concerned about the chronology of what happened. I believe what the Minister...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Supplementary Report of Scoping Inquiry into CervicalCheck Programme: Discussion (4 Jul 2019)
Alan Kelly: I said earlier that, for purposes of quality assurance, the women wanted them to be investigated. Is it correct that that was not possible with seven of them?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Supplementary Report of Scoping Inquiry into CervicalCheck Programme: Discussion (4 Jul 2019)
Alan Kelly: There were 16 laboratories and the witnesses have provided us with a schedule. Seven were not visited so they could not have been thoroughly investigated. Quality assurance and accreditation are two totally different things. Quality assurance needs investigation.

Alan Kelly: The schedule will show all of that, to be fair to Dr. Scally. My last question relates to INAB. I believe that the committee should bring in INAB and the relevant people from the HSE at some point to fill in the jigsaw. It is under the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation, but that should not be an issue. All of us, including committee members and the witnesses, have an issue...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Supplementary Report of Scoping Inquiry into CervicalCheck Programme: Discussion (4 Jul 2019)
Alan Kelly: When the witnesses visited in January, MedLab said it was accredited. Subsequently, through what was explained earlier, which I will digest, we found out that it was not accredited. Who told INAB that it was not accredited? The accreditation for the Sandyford laboratory is dated to 23 October 2018. INAB visited it on 17 April. Its subsequent accreditation, which is for Sandyford and...
