Four breast cancer sufferers are suing State over ‘misdiagnosis’

At least four women who have developed breast cancer are suing the State over allegations that BreastCheck failed to diagnose their condition.

The head of the State Claims Agency confirmed the situation during a day-long meeting on the cervical cancer tests scandal.

Speaking at the latest meeting of the Dáil’s public accounts committee, State Claims Agency director Ciarán Breen said while the current scandal is focused on cervical cancer, he is aware of other unrelated cases.
