Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Engagement with Patient Representatives on CervicalCheck and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists Review Process

Ms Lorraine Walsh:

The vast majority are probably considering an independent review. One must remember that many of the people involved do not have the money to go the independent route. They were hoping the RCOG review would give them those answers. I am very conscious that I am saying to these people that they cannot trust this report despite the fact that this is their only avenue to get some form of the truth. I do not say it lightly. Many are now wondering where they will get the money to find out the truth. These independent reviews can cost anything from €2,000 to €5,000.
