Summary

Health Minister Mike Nesbitt defends against calls for a public inquiry into Northern Irelands cervical screening program flaws, citing existing reviews. Campaigners, however, are outraged, citing misread tests leading to two young mothers deaths. The new review highlights management failures, but no widespread harm or individual punishment. The program is moving to centralized HPV screening, but campaigners vow to pursue further action. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
