The HSE have advised that any woman who has received a clear CervicalCheck smear test result previously should proceed with their next scheduled test as normal.

With a view to reassuring women about the safety of the CervicalCheck programme, I have arranged that any woman who has had a CervicalCheck smear test, and who following consultation with her GP determines that she wishes to have a further test, may do so without charge.
