Ruth Morrissey case: Medic warned of outsourcing smear slides 11 years ago, court hears

A senior medic yesterday told the High Court he raised concerns about the outsourcing of the smear slides of Irish women to US laboratories 11 years ago and warned of "problems in the long term".

Dr David Gibbons resigned as chair of the Cytology/Histology Group within the Quality Assurance Committee of the National Cervical Screening Programme along with seven others after raising their concerns in 2008.
