Lorraine Walsh says she has no confidence in RCOG process after slides were mislabelled

, one of the women affected by the CervicalCheck controversy, has resigned from the steering committee of the screening programme.

Speaking on RTE’s Primetime on Tuesday night, she revealed two of the three cases dealt with my RCOG in which mislabelling of slides occurred involved her own slides and those of fellow patient advocateReferring to the erosion of her own trust in the process, she called on the Government to fund an “individualised, independent assessments” for affected women “so they can get the truth”.

Referring to the review, she said reports had to be returned to RCOG because of consistencies and inaccuracies. “Even as late as early October, of 581 reports half of them had to be returned because the detail in them was inaccurate.” “Out of 1,051 slides [reviewed by RCOG] for two of them to be mine and Vicky Phelan’s, it just erodes confidence further in entire system.”
