HSE legally 'shredded' files relating to CervicalCheck cancer labs

HSE officials legally "shredded" files relating to the controversial cervical cancer labs tender process, meaning they cannot now be examined by State investigators.

The Dáil's public accounts committee was told of the situation just 24 hours after lead investigator Dr Gabriel Scally told the Dáil's health committee he cannot be certain he has been given all of the files.
