Settlement made with Clinical Pathology laboratories in Austin, Texas, responsible for reading the slide taken from the smear test

The woman, who has two young children and is in her 40s, had sued the Health Service Executive and three laboratories over the alleged misreading and misreporting of the test taken in 2010.

Her experts claimed the 2010 test taken under the Cervical Check screening programme showed high grade precancerous abnormalities were clearly present. She told the court there was no accountability and she was in this situation because "someone did not do their job right". The woman has been feeling unwell and had a further scan on Monday and her husband said he was very scared about the outcome of this scan.
