Any conversation about the recent judgment in the case of Ruth Morrissey should start with an acknowledgement of the very brave stand she took. That is something we need to consider in the future when citizens seeking justice are faced with a wall of lawyers employed by the State. The State appears to use the law as a weapon in many of these cases. There is a great deal of concern about a particular element of the judgment and the phrase "absolute certainty" when telling someone a screening or test is clear. Does the Minister have an update on the potential implications of that judgment for the screening services and the wider healthcare services?
