Vicky Phelan: ‘Government trying to delay smear test review’

Patient advocates Vicky Phelan and Stephen Teap have warned that the Government is trying to delay a review into CervicalCheck smear tests as it will show that up to another 200 women were misdiagnosed.

Ms Phelan, the Limerick mother who has helped expose the cervical cancer controversy, has also revealed that the Scally inquiry will be published on September 1.

Both she and Mr Teap gave moving and critical speeches at the MacGill Summer School, highlighting the lack of accountability in the health and public services.
