HSE outsourcing of screening lead to CervicalCheck 'crisis', Supreme Court told

The Cervical Check “crisis” has its roots in an “internationally unprecedented” decision by the HSE in 2008 to outsource 90% of liquid-based cytology testing to two foreign multinational giants, the Supreme Court has been told.

In that context, the HSE must be found to have liability for the misreading of cervical smear samples of Limerick woman Ruth Morrissey, her counsel Patrick Treacy SC said.
