Description
The woman at the centre of the CervicalCheck cancer screening scandal, terminally ill Limerick woman Vicky Phelan, speaks to Róisín Ingle about the situation, calling it “disgraceful, saying it’s an absolute national scandal”. Vicky tells Róisín that the buck stops with HSE director general Tony O'Brien and that she doesn't understand how he could “have the balls to stay in the job at this stage”. Vicky explains why signing a non-disclosure agreement in her High Court case over her false negative smear test result was never an option and why despite being told she has between six and 12 months to live, she doesn't think she is going to die.
