Simon Harris to press for inquiry in spite of Scally report view

Health Minister Simon Harris is to defy the view of the Scally Report and will press ahead with a Commission of Investigation into the CervicalCheck Inquiry.

Leaked details of the report, which were described as “heartbreaking” and “disrespectful” by the women and families directly impacted by the smear test scandal, show that Gabriel Scally does not believe that a promised commission of investigation is now required.
