"What the National Cervical Screening Programme manager must do for women in the programme"

When you join the National Cervical Screening Programme, the manager must tell you that you are now part of the programme. They must also give you information about why screening tests are important, the good and bad things about being in the programme, and who can see your information. They have to explain what the programme is trying to achieve, including making sure the quality of the programme is always improving. The manager must also let you know that you can stop being part of the programme if you want to, by following the rules set out in section 112G(1).

The manager has to keep a record of all your test results if you are part of the programme. This includes results from screening tests and diagnostic tests that are related to you. These results are kept on the programme's register.
