Government to wait and see on cervical check scandal

The Children's Minister says she's going to wait until more facts are established before forming a view on the position of the State's Chief Medical Officer.

It emerged last week that Dr Tony Holohan received memos in 2016 showing Cervical Check had prepared a response for media stories about screenings not diagnosing cancer. The findings of an independent review into the cervical cancer scandal will be known next month.
