Cork woman who underwent private smear test says CervicalCheck 'refused' to provide follow-up colposcopy

A woman who went private for a smear test says the HSE has refused to provide a follow-up screening for her as a public patient.

Claire Healy Cashin paid to get her smear results quickly through the private health service, but she said the HSE will not offer her a colposcopy to follow it up through CervicalCheck as she was no longer within the public system.
