Monitoring of screening programmes is required to ensure ongoing quality and an evidence base to service development.

An audit programme is an important component of continuous quality improvement of screening programmes.

In 2012, the Ministry of Health contracted Deloitte through an open tender process to lead and co-ordinate a three year audit programme for the UNHSEIP reviewing activities in all districts.

The first round of audits commenced in May 2012 and will be completed by June 2014.
