1443. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Health further to Parliamentary Question No. 295 of 18 February 2021, the number of in-person or virtual meetings he has had with persons who identified themselves as either women affected by the CervicalCheck scandal or family members of such women. [14243/21]
View answerAs indicated in my answer to PQ 295 of 18 February 2021, I do not intend to provide information in respect of engagements with individuals or their families and will confine my response to details of formal engagements with representatives of the 221+ CervicalCheck Patient Support Group, whom I met virtually on three occasions: Wednesday, 2 September 2020, Friday, 23 October 2020 and Monday, 26 October 2020. The Group’s representatives at these meetings included women impacted by the issues in respect of CervicalCheck and family members of women affected.
However, without providing detail in respect of meetings other than the formal engagements referred to above, I can confirm that such meeting(s) with women affected by the issues in respect of CervicalCheck and/or their family members have taken place.
