The cancer patient group 221+ have been told it is not possible to delay the establishment of the CervicalCheck tribunal.

Despite a government climbdown over the weekend in the face of anger from campaigners like Vicky Phelan, at a meeting between health officials and the 221+ group it was made clear a delay is not possible.
