A Serious Incident Management Team was established in April and reported on 25 May that 207 of the 209 women, or families, had been contacted. It has also reported that, sadly, 18 of these women are known to have died. I am advised that contact has been made with these families.

The HSE has informed the Department that while some cases pose individual challenges, every effort is being made to ensure that women and their next-of-kin seeking their medical records are responded to and provided with their data in a timely manner. My Department will liaise with CervicalCheck in relation to the particular case raised to ensure that the family's concerns are responded to.
