Former health minister Simon Harris has described comments by the head of CervicalCheck claiming that some women “know in their heart and soul that they haven’t been wronged” as “inappropriate, unfortunate, insensitive”.
Dr Noirin Russell is said to have made the remarks about women making claims against the service in a recorded conversation that took place some two years ago.
She is also reported to have said that some women were using the process in hope that “they might get some money”.
