'Women with cervical cancer have been abandoned by the Government'

A protest in 2018 regarding cervical smear screenings.

Women with cervical cancer have been abandoned by the Government despite a vow to stand by them, the solicitor for a woman who died during her court case last week said.

The woman, who cannot be identified, had pleaded through her legal team with the HSE to have her case over alleged misreporting of her smear slides settled before her death.
