Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

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

Ms Lorraine Walsh:

I know the woman in question, Bernadette Kiely. I met her with the RCOG review panel back in May. She was one of the patient representatives who came to meet RCOG. What happened, I believe, is that she had an issue with her colposcopy management and the RCOG found discordance in her case, but when she received her file, which she had requested, there was a partial audit report on it but there was a page missing from it. She now wonders, now that the RCOG has found discordance in her case, whether there was discordance when it audited her file previously and, if so, why she was not told about it. The woman deserves to know and to get that second page of her report. She is traumatised-----
