Cervical Check is clinically sound, and women can have confidence in the process.
That's according to Dr. Gabriel Scally, who's leading the scoping inquiry into the Cervical Check Programme.
He's reviewing the cases of 209 women who received false negative results from the State's national screening programme - and weren't told when the issues were brought to light.
He's told the Health Committee " It is worthwhile reinforcing that it is a good programme and that it has produced real results and also that the potential is great for it to produce really outstanding results".
