BreastCheck delay a ‘time bomb’, says TD

LIMERICK is facing another health scandal, it was claimed yesterday.

With a recent survey showing Limerick women have the lowest life expectancy in the country, the rollout of BreastCheck in the mid-west takes on a new urgency, Fine Gael TD Kieran O’Donnell has claimed.

The Limerick East TD said the delayed rollout of BreastCheck was “a time bomb for another breast cancer scandal in the Limerick area”.
