Cervical cancer campaigner Stephen Teap at the memorial for Vicky Phelan Image: PA Images TAOISEACH MICHEÁL MARTIN has apologised to cervical cancer campaigner Stephen Teap.
Stephen Teap’s court action was settled in a rare case where two laboratories admitted a breach of their duty of care in misreading CervicalCheck smear tests. “First of all, I fully understand where Stephen Teap is coming from. What happened to him and his family is absolutely devastating,” he said on Virgin Media’s Tonight Show last night.“In terms of the CervicalCheck scandal, it shouldn’t have happened, there is no defence for what happened.
When asked about the failures in relation to governance over laboratories examining smears, Martin said: “I wouldn’t accept it was price over quantity.”
