Disclaimer

The collection and management of screening data is complex given the wide range of service providers involved in its administration and delivery. The Ministry of Health does not directly enter or control much of the data within the screening programmes. To ensure that the data is high quality the Ministry has established a range of policies and quality standards however these are not exhaustive. Day-to-day implementation and monitoring of these standards is the responsibility of the service providers. The Ministry regularly carries out compliance audits of the service providers which monitors aspects of these standards.
