  • Any reports, ministerial briefings, internal or external emails or work looking at the effect of last year’s Covid-19 lockdown disruption on cervical cancer treatments and screenings/smears.
  • Any data, reports, ministerial briefings, internal or external emails estimating or discussing the number of cervical cancer smears that have been or are expected to be missed due to the August 2021 lockdown. Given the disruption to cervical screening during last year's lockdowns (50,000 fewer women screened nationwide for cervical cancer at end of May 2020), I would expect reporting on the downstream effects of this would’ve been done and this OIA is designed to capture that work.
