There seems to be a heated debate over whether cytology screening should be outsourced or not. Medical researchers feel that screening should not be outsourced otherwise the quality of the tests could not be maintained and it’s in the best interests of the health of the women. It seems the Irish medical scientists are all against this idea and they also have reservations with regards to privatization of pathology work in public health sector.
I think the scientist do not understand the benefits that outsourcing can offer to the Irish medical field. It’s not just about low costs in outsourcing which can be gained but even the quality of the service can be maintained since the government would surely outsource the work to hospitals that are adept at performing screening so chances of low quality service is minimal. All I can figure out is that the medical scientists might be worried about losing jobs as a result of outsourcing.
