Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Progressive Democrats)

Errors also occur in a quality assured service. I regret very much the circumstances and state of health of the woman to whom the Deputy referred. I hope to have all the facts of the case and to be in a position to communicate with the Deputy by Friday. If the facts, as suggested by the Deputy, are borne out, we will have had a cytology failing in one of our hospitals. I would regret that very much.
