3,000 women may be caught up in cervical cancer scandal

A week after the lid was lifted on the cervical cancer scandal, the Government still does not know the number of women adversely affected.

New revelations have emerged in the cervical cancer tests scandal that has rocked the State as Health Minister Simon Harris admitted a “considerable number” of ill women have not had their cases reviewed.

It is thought that there could now be as many as 3,000 women caught up in the controversy.
