Judge says terminally-ill Ruth Morrissey's fast-tracked case proceeding at 'slow speed of a tram'

Ruth Morrissey who is terminally ill with cervical cancer will have to return to the witness box at the High Court in the coming weeks.

The mother who began her legal action last July against the HSE and two US laboratories over the alleged misreading of two of her cervical smear slides taken under the CervicalCheck screening programme is to be cross-examined by lawyers for the HSE.
