Update: GP blames 'political and media hype' for six-month delay in smear results

Dr Máire Finn says that the current delay of six months in cervical smear results is because the system is overwhelmed following Minister for Health Simon Harris’s decision to offer free repeat smear tests to every woman after the CervicalCheck controversy.
