We need to get to the bottom of these issues because they are really important. I am also concerned about the number of misdiagnoses I am coming across. Let us take the example of a woman who is diagnosed with depression and finds out, after months of treatment, that she has stage 4 cancer.

I come across this almost daily. It is apart from the CervicalCheck scandal that continues. As late as last week, other women have presented with symptoms after clear smears. Even beyond the CervicalCheck situation people are being misdiagnosed left, right and centre.
