Review option for cervical cancer patients welcomed as 'very important change'

CervicalCheck clinical director Nóirín Russell said the hope is to have the personal cervical review process 'up and running in the first quarter of this year'. 
 

Women who develop cancer while part of the CervicalCheck screening programme will be entitled to request a review under changes due to be in place by the end of March.

The changes come following close engagement on the issue with advocacy group 221+ as well as patient organisations, according to CervicalCheck clinical director Nóirín Russell.
