Cork father of two Stephen Teap says the Scally report into the Cervical Check Scandal made very difficult reading
He was speaking after the report, which contains 50 recommendations - including reviewing the HSE's disclosures policy - was published this afternoon
Dr Gabriel Scally's report found that there were indications it was a system ‘that was doomed to fail’ but he said there was no evidence of a conspiracy, corruption or cover up.
More than 200 women weren't told about an audit showing their smear results had been read incorrectly. Dr Scally has heavily criticised the manner in which they were finally told about it
