Terminally ill Ruth Morrissey had to source her own counselling, High Court hears

Ruth Morrissey who is terminally ill with cervical cancer was told to source her own counselling when she sought support from the HSE, the High Court has heard.

At one stage the young mother who is suing over the alleged misreading of her smear slides which were taken under the CervicalCheck screening programme was "very low" but told to source her own psychotherapy and furnish the receipts, a care expert said.
