Taoiseach open to new smear test review

The Government is to consider funding a further independent review for women involved in the CervicalCheck scandal after a key patient advocate expressed no confidence in the process.

Campaigner Lorraine Walsh has now resigned from the CervicalCheck steering committee and has hit out at a review carried out by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG), which was published this week.
