Justine McCarthy: CervicalCheck scandal did not die with Vicky Phelan

In the letter — which has been shared with The Irish Times — she said an additional “worrying development” was that the numbers of smear samples deemed unsatisfactory for testing had plummeted to almost zero. In her experience prior to the introduction of outsourcing, the difficulty in obtaining sufficient cells for testing meant “a few [smears] a week” would be returned to the clinic having been deemed inadequate for testing.

The reply from Harney’s private secretary came five months later, aloofly stating: ‘The delay in replying is regretted’ The same year that Greene wrote to Harney, Ruth Morrissey’s smear slide came back all clear. So did her next one three years later, in 2012. In February 2019, aged 38 and terminally ill, she listened in the High Court as Gibbons testified in her action against the HSE, Quest Diagnostics and MedLab Pathology.

Scally has revealed that other campaigning cervical cancer women have recently been refused treatment by some doctors.

Mandatory Open Disclosure seems to have died with her.sadly .We were promised it would become law in early Jan .Crocodile tears and empty promises DonnellyStephen LeoVaradkar NationalQPS SimonHarrisTD HSELive Cervical Check was described as -The Tip Of The Iceberg-How true

Michael_O_Regan No doubt that Justine McCarthy is the cheeriest journalist in Ireland.

The media&their continous misleading of the population,will ensure it never dies.The result in any other country would be the collapse of the screening programme & the diversion of resources to acute services,but in this country the Politicians keep p*ssy footing around the issue
