Justice for Cervical Smear Scandal Victims
These are our Calls to Action:
1. Asking for relevant policy for the upcoming Bill, on mandatory disclosure to be implemented in conjunction with an agreed timeline
2. Active and independent support for those affected by the scandal, including and not limited to, an immediate point of contact for those affected, and a multidisciplinary support team.
Why is this important?
The women of Ireland have been let down. 18 women have died and 209 women have been identified as being impacted by the failure of the HSE to inform them of the audit of their cervical smear test results.
We are calling for action.
The reasons we are doing this:
We are strongest standing together.
Standing for Vicky, for Emma, for Irene, for Catherine, for Orla, for Julie, for Rosie, for Debbie, for Ann, for Carol, for all the other people who are coming forward every day, for all 18, for all 209.
How it will be delivered
We plan to deliver this petition at Dail Eireann on Wednesday, 30th May at 5pm.
