More Than 2,000 Women Have Contacted Cervical Check Helpline
More than 2,000 women have called the Cervical Check helpline.
It was set up over the weekend for women with concerns about their smear test results, after the case of Vicky Phelan who was incorrectly given the all-clear.
The line will stay open until 6pm this evening and the HSE says call-backs are underway.
It also claims its audit of 206 individual results is nearing completion will engage today with all women still awaiting contact.
The Chairman of the National Association of General Practitioners, Dr Andrew Jordan, is urging women to continue to believe in the cervical check system.
