Ruth Morrissey would not be 'facing death sentence' if she was referred for colposcopy, court hears

Ruth Morrissey, who is terminally ill with cervical cancer, on the balance of probabilities would not have got cancer and be facing a death sentence if she had been referred for a colposcopy in 2009, the High Court heard today.

Leading cervical cancer expert Professor John Shepherd said it was correct to say Ms Morrissey who now has only two years to live should in 2009 have been referred for a colposcopy.
