The best way to honour Vicky Phelan is to implement all of the CervicalCheck recommendations both in "letter and spirit", Dr Gabriel Scally has said.

Publishing his review of the progress that has been made in implementing over 50 CervicalCheck recommendations, Dr Scally called for the introduction of open disclosure in the healthcare system and hit out at hurtful attitudes "which are still prevalent".
