Cancer Screening Programme: Motion.

 

Senator O'Meara and others asked about the rollout and why we are meeting representatives of BreastCheck in advance. When I launched BreastCheck in 2000 I did not say it would be available throughout the country in two years. I know this because I re-read the speech I made in Dublin Castle on the evening in question. We said phase one would inform the rollout of phase two because it was very much a learning experience in terms of getting the external evaluation from Europe to make sure the quality assurance was right and so on.
