Professor Arnold Hill:

In this country those ten women, if they got good solicitors could get a large sum of money ranging up to €1 million. I suspect that sum will go higher in the years ahead. That is unsustainable. We could do anything. When a woman comes to have a mammogram in BreastCheck she signs a document and understands that it is not a perfect test. In this country, a patient among those ten women is virtually entitled to €1 million in medical legal costs, and that is unsustainable. I suggest that there needs to be urgent medical legal reform. We have known this for a long time. The problem is that vested interests will block it.
