After a year of “moving the goalposts” on the publication of the CervicalCheck review, it is "unacceptable” parts of the report were leaked to the media before the women involved had their results, Labour has claimed. The women were tested for the disease under CervicalCheck and given the all-clear but later developed cancer. Taoiseach, Leo Varakdar, said it was wrong that details of the review had been leaked to the media before all of the women were told about their results and offered meetings. Sinn Féin health spokesperson, Louise O'Reilly, said the “drip-feed” of information in the media was not fair on the women involved. CervicalCheck campaigner, Stephen Teap, said they would not be making any comment on the review while the women and their families were receiving the results.
