At least 10 more legal actions over cancer screening scandal

At least 10 more women have begun legal actions over the cancer screening controversy as pressure mounts on the Government to launch a full inquiry.

As the Government scrambles to get a handle on the number of women affected, thousands are still waiting to get advice on a special helpline set up to address concerns.

HSE boss Tony O’Brien is also facing growing calls to resign as furious ministers struggle to avoid political damage.
