View answer401. Deputy Imelda Munster asked the Minister for Health the acceptable level of error in the BowelScreen programme. [22403/18]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 400 and 401 together.
The Deputy's questions refer to service delivery matters and accordingly I have asked the HSE to reply directly to her.
Also, the Terms of Reference of the Scoping Inquiry led by Dr Gabriel Scally include the following: examine the other screening programmes operated by the National Screening Service particularly in relation to quality assurance and clinical audit, open disclosure and governance.
