This afternoon.
Dr Gabriel Scally, who carried out a scoping review of the CervicalCheck screening programme, speaks to media following the publication of his report.
Meanwhile…
The National Women’s Council of Ireland tweetz:
“Why does it always happen to women?” An important section of Dr Scally’s report today on the need to place greater importance on women’s health. Funding for the Women’s Health Action Plan Must be ringfenced in Budget 2019
The 181-page report can be read in full here

UPDATE:
Some shocking stuff here from Dr Scally. Family of woman who died from cervical cancer told him of their meeting with her consultant. He referred several times to her smoking habit and also said: “nuns don’t get cervical cancer”. Scally said that if that was not misogyny… pic.twitter.com/JqHAzm6zgv

It is time for some people to eat some humble pie and perhaps apologise. I won’t hold my breath though…

I fully accept the report and its findings and it is a disgrace. Just one small point; “ring-fencing” funding for anything is really bad practice. Every lobby group wants fund for their cause to be “ring-fenced” – its a terrible idea and really bad budgetary practice.

There was no problems with the US labs – so we were told this morning. Yet reported this afternoon the following…..
‘A lab used by CervicalCheck in Texas up to 2013 out-sourced tests to Las Vegas, Hawaii and Florida without telling the HSE, the Scally report revealed today.
The CPL lab in Austin is now to be the focus of a further investigation to see if safety was put at risk.’
Ah yes, good old Mary Harney’s saving a few bob for the state to pay for her pension.
SYSTEM FAILURE . Every second rate bureaucrats wet dream.
