313. To ask the Minister for Health when he or the CEO of the HSE first learnt of the CervicalCheck scandal; the reason he and the CEO did not know of the scandal earlier; and the systems in place in the HSE to communicate information of this importance to him and the CEO [19889/18]

I received a briefing note in relation to a legal case which had been taken against MedLab/Clinical Pathology Laboratories Ltd, a company providing cytopathology for CervicalCheck, and the HSE on 16 April 2018.
I received further information on issues related to the communication of the outcome of the CervicalCheck clinical audit process to women in the period after the legal case became public.
I have published that briefing note and set out the information available to me on the record of the Dáil on Tuesday, 1 May 2018, including during questions from the opposition.
Questions relating to the CEO of the HSE are more appropriate for answer by the HSE.
