On 11 May the Minister announced a package of services for anyone who wanted to avail of a new cervical smear test. How many women have availed of it? What is the Minister doing to ensure their tests and results will be delivered speedily and what laboratory is involved? We have all been astonished by the courage of Vicky Phelan and Emma Mhic Mhathúna, in particular, but there has been severe criticism recently that the package of measures is not being delivered speedily and that the Minister is not fulfilling the promises he made just a few weeks ago.
