202. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Health if Altnagelvin hospital, Derry tendered for the CervicalCheck contract; the year or years the tender was submitted; and the reason the tender was unsuccessful. [20591/18]
View answerThis question relates to matters which are now the subject of a Scoping Inquiry. I announced the terms of reference of this Inquiry, following agreement by Government, on 8th May 2018.
The Inquiry, led by Dr Gabriel Scally, will examine the facts, including details of the non-disclosure to patients relating to CervicalCheck clinical audits and the management and level of knowledge of various parties including the HSE and the Department of Health. Dr Scally will report to me by the end of next month setting out his findings.
