The Health Service Executive (HSE) has advised that the review of the mammography services in Portlaoise is complete. Nine women were identified as having a diagnosis of cancer. All nine women have been offered appropriate treatment and counselling. A clinical review of ultrasounds at Portlaoise is also complete and no cancers were detected in this review. The HSE has advised my Department that a report on the reviews will be published by the HSE when the necessary legal requirements have been completed. The suspension of mammography services at the Hospital continues pending the publication of the report.
