Image: RollingNews.ie Image: RollingNews.ie HEALTH MINISTER SIMON Harris says the long backlog of 80,000 smear tests at the centre of the ongoing cervical check debacle will start to clear over the summer months.
Repeat smear tests were then offered under advice from medical staff and GPs working closely with the minister. Harris, however, today moved to reassure women that additional capacity has been identified by the HSE and the backlog will begin to clear over the summer months. “This was a very frightening time. It was a time in which we couldn’t provide reassurance to the women in Ireland in relation to their smear tests, and they were already making their own healthcare decisions to go to their own GP.
Speaking to reporters at the launch of the Healthy Ireland campaign, he said opposition politicians were playing a game of “party politics” which he said “does nothing to serve women’s health”.
You dirty rotten basd
He's an oaf
The only thing Harris will reduce is his credibility, if that's possible..
FineGael LeoVaradkar SimonHarrisTD you have the blood of Irish citizens on your hands
Simon everything FG does is party politics.
He looks like he’s aged 20 years over the past few months. Note: Being health minister is not good for your health.
Fine Gael are just the worst.
You mean like yourself Simon? Who hid women's results from them until it was too late for them to do anything about it. And you Simon who tried to gag these women after they found out, & you Simon who made promises about repeat smears that you were advised wouldn't be possible
The irony
