Terminally ill woman tells court she felt 'lost in the system'

A woman now terminally ill with cervical cancer, who claims she had a 95% chance of being successfully treated if a smear test taken almost nine years ago was read and reported correctly, has told the High Court she feels "lost in the system" and "of no significance".

A mother of two aged in her forties, who was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2015, she said she would not be "in this mess if my scan was read correctly in 2010". She felt "hurt and let down" and her life and that of her family has been "turned inside out".
