Cancer test court case reforms to be outlined

Hundreds of victims of the cervical cancer test scandal will be told today of new Government plans to ensure they are not dragged through the courts system to obtain justice.

Health Minister Simon Harris will outline the legal reforms when he brings the interim Meenan report on the controversy to Cabinet this morning in a bid to prevent a repeat of the Vicky Phelan and Emma Mhic Mhathúna cases.
