The Minister for Health has said the ex-gratia payment scheme is under way for women affected by the CervicalCheck controversy and he said letters of invitation were issued to women yesterday.
He was responding to Fianna Fáil's health spokesperson Stephen Donnelly, who asked Minister Harris why it had taken so long to implement the ex-gratia payment programme.The minister said he did not have that figure to hand and would make it available later. Deputy Donnelly said the ruling had sent "shock waves" across all screening services and doctors were speaking to him about the possibility of having to shut entire screening services down.
