BARRY HEALY & COMPANY SOLICITORS CERVICAL SMEAR TEST MISDIAGNOSIS SOUTHERN HEALTH TRUST NORTHERN IRELAND
CERVICAL SMEAR TEST MISDIAGNOSIS SOUTHERN HEALTH & CARE TRUST NORTHERN IRELAND
Barry Healy & Company, Solicitors medical negligence solicitors have been prominent in the Cervical Check cancer misdiagnosis scandal. This scandal rocked the HSE and led to hundreds of other women and families learning of failures that prevented their cancers from being identified earlier. Due to the extensive nature of the necessary surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy treatments, the delay in diagnosis and treatment has resulted in horrific lifelong suffering for many others. All of this harm could have been prevented had the HSE, Cervical Check, and the laboratories they contracted with been run according to the proper standard of care.
Our medical negligence solicitors represented Plaintiffs in their Fight to recover Damages for the very serious harm inflicted upon them.
In various ways and under different conditions, but with equal fortitude and determination as they dealt with the difficulties and worries of receiving an incurable cancer diagnosis, each of these families stood up against the State and to its contracted laboratories.
These Plaintiffs paved the road, wouldn't go away, and made it possible for the nation to learn the truth about the Cervical Check cancer misdiagnosis disaster, including the incorrect diagnoses and the health organization's refusal to inform patients of the audit findings. Damages of to €7.5 million were recovered in some of the cases.
And the Defendants inter alia had to acknowledge responsibility for carelessly misreading tests sometimes performed years apart.
The many other women and families who have been impacted by these problems and who have been left to fight the State and the HSE who failed them with a flawed screening program then failed them again when it failed to address the horrifying consequences of its negligence with a humane and responsive redress scheme have each case been of utmost importance.
It has been a privilege and a struggle for us to work on these cases and numerous other Cervical Check cancer misdiagnosis scandal cases, but we have always done our best to get fair results for our clients.
Overall, more than 300 women or their families have filed lawsuits in response to the Cervical Check incident, with the great majority opting to use the court system rather than the alternative court system created by the Irish government known as the Cervical Check Tribunal.
