Solicitor: ‘Review should not just be limited to cervical testing’

A solicitor representing another woman who was diagnosed with cancer after receiving an incorrect smear test result believes the scandal is far broader than just cervical screenings.

James McSweeney has called for any review or investigation to take in other screenings including breastcheck as he knows from experience and other cases that the “entire system is failing women”.

He is now representing another woman who is taking a case and who similar to Vicky Phelan, was diagnosed with cervical cancer after she received a false negative CervicalCheck result.
