The implementation plan for the recommendations of the Scoping Inquiry into the CervicalCheck Screening Programme (Scally Report) was approved by Government on 11 December 2018. The implementation plan contains 170 actions. At the end of Q1 2020, 137 of the 170 identified actions were completed.
I fully support the full implementation of the recommendations of Dr Scally and am committed to publishing a quarterly progress report against the recommendations on the Department of Health website. There has been significant progress by all parties to date and my Department engages on an ongoing basis with the HSE and the National Cancer Registry to oversee implementation of the recommendations.
The Department will soon publish the Q2 2020 report.
