A woman who is terminally ill with cervical cancer has encouraged women affected by the Cervical Check scandal to seek financial compensation after she agreed a settlement of €7.5 million.
Emma Mhic Mhathúna had sued both the HSE and Quest Diagnostics, the US laboratory it used to conduct smear tests. She was one of 209 women who received incorrect results, uncovered by a clinical audit into the screening program.
Ms Mhic Mhathúna, a mother of five from Kerry, was tested on three occasions in 2010, 2011, and 2013 but the results of all these three test were incorrect.
