It is. I have all of the documentation and information we have been given. A briefing note from Arthur Cox told the HSE that there was no breach in contract and CervicalCheck was free to send the letters. It was not until June that a decision was taken to do so, and CervicalCheck reached an agreement with the lab. It strikes me that pressure from one of the labs contributed, at least in part, to these women not getting the information they should have been given.
