Minister for Health Simon Harris
BREAKING: Harris says “a potentially considerable number of cases” where people have been diagosed with cervical cancer whose cases have NOT been included in a later clinical audit

Should be stressed here: these are NOT cases where women do not know of their diagnosis.
These are women who know they have cancer, but whose cases have not been audited to determine if they were wrongly given the all-clear beforehand https://t.co/FV11JEZcdt

Harris: Introduction of HPV testing later this year will lead to “reconfiguration” of laboratory work, and re-tendering for lab work.
He will bring a memo to Cabinet next week on a Patient Safety Bill providing for a legal ‘duty of candour’

At this stage I really am speechless at just how poorly prepared #CervicalCheck, the HSE and Department of Health were for the questions that were likely (very likely) to follow such a high profile case.

Meanwhile…
Would someone please tell Deputy Rabbitte that she’s on live national television? #Dail pic.twitter.com/Fj8WQ2j80I

Ah here.
Terrible choice of phrasing Sumo.
Maybe someone should send Harris a ‘memo’. As in, ‘the game is up, get out’
He can take fellow morons Naughten and spooky Zappone with him..
Up to 1500 is the figure…just before Harris made his appearance. This will go like the tracker mortgage figures. Increase upon increase. These boys should now vacate this sham of an excuse for a government.
What the hell has Harris been doing with his hair? It looks like it hasn’t been cut in a year and not washed for at least a month.
I see no Minister was available to appear across from Vicky on Prime Time tonight. Leo has contacted her to set up a private meeting. She said she’d get back to him, apparently.
