Harris: CervicalCheck chief’s comments ‘inappropriate, unfortunate, insensitive’

Dr Nóirín Russell is alleged to have said that some women were using the process in hope that “they might get some money”.

Former health minister Simon Harris has described comments by the head of CervicalCheck claiming that some women “know in their heart and soul that they haven’t been wronged” as “inappropriate, unfortunate, insensitive”.

Dr Nóirín Russell is said to have made the remarks about women making claims against the service in a recorded conversation that took place some two years ago.
