Tony O’Brien has said that of the 17 women whose smear tests were the subject of a review and who have since passed away, two had the results of their review communicated to them before they died.
The numbers relating to the 208 women whose smear tests were the subject of review who have been informed remain at 46, while 162 have not been told, Mr O’Brien confirmed to the committee…
Two of 17 women learned of CervicalCheck review before dying (RTÉ)
I’m fairly certain Simon Harris told the Dail yesterday that over 100 women had been informed.
They’re definitely worth those 6 figure salaries, eh?
