RTÉ has removed comments made by Dr Tony Holohan about the CervicalCheck scandal from a broadcast tonight. Rightfully so.
He’s right
I mean, ask 100 people what it was 75 wont have heard of it, 20 will say “it was a terrible scandal” without further info and you’ll get 5 other answers.
He’s absolutely right, but it won’t stop the ignorant baying for blood.
I found a lot of people believe that the HSE hid patients’ cancers from them, instead of the fact that they hid the review into their screenings from them.
There’s people who genuinely think that the HSE let these women’s cancers continue to develop, when this is not what happened. They hid the review. Vicky Phelan found out about it by chance when she decided to read her medical file whilst bored in the hospital waiting for the doctor. She then blew the whistle.
He is correct, you just need to read the blatant misinformation posted on here anytime it’s brought up.
People still peddling the incorrect claim that a cancer diagnosis was hidden from people – that falsehood has been corrected enough times now for it to be deliberate misinformation spreading.
Odd that he doesn’t address what the various court judgments were actually dealing with. Why ever would he not do that?
