The Tánaiste spoke earlier about promised legislation in respect of open disclosure and the need to avoid an adversarial environment in regard to the CervicalCheck issue. We heard from the solicitor for Vicky Phelan this morning that there are delays in regard to the HSE agreeing a protocol to release slides for the women concerned. When the HSE is behaving like that, the women have no choice but to take legal action. Will the Tánaiste ask the Minister for Health to intervene to stop this foot-dragging by the HSE and to release the data that are required and requested by the women?
