On 11 May, I announced a comprehensive package of health and social care measures to support women and families affected by issues relating to CervicalCheck audit. These measures include:

- The provision of a discretionary medical card for each woman affected, or their next-of-kin in cases where the woman has sadly died;

- The meeting of out-of-pocket medical costs incurred;

- The provision of primary care supports, including counselling, to the women affected;

- The provision of counselling services, including bereavement counselling where appropriate, to the immediate family members of these women; and

- The provision of other health and social care supports, including travel costs and childminding, where appropriate.
