Vicky Phelan Biography:-

She passed away in Milford Hospice in Co. Limerick at a young age of 48, surrounded by her family.

The woman from Kilkenny brought attention to the controversy surrounding the national screening program CervicalCheck, in which she and other women were kept in the dark about the fact that the cervical cancer smear test results that had previously indicated they were cancer-free were actually false and that the revised test results from an audit had been withheld from them for years.

She reached a settlement with Clinical Pathology Labs, a US laboratory that had been subcontracted by the CervicalCheck national screening program to evaluate the smear test findings, in a High Court action for €2.5 million without admitting fault.

“The women of Ireland can no longer place their trust in the CervicalCheck programme,” Ms Phelan said following the settlement. “Mistakes can and do happen, but the behaviour of CervicalCheck and the HSE in my case, and the situation of at least 10 other women we know about, is unforgivable.”

She had a smear test in 2011, which revealed no abnormalities, but in 2014, cervical cancer was discovered. She had a false positive on her initial smear test, as revealed by a subsequent CervicalCheck audit. In the case settlement, she refused to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

Due to Ms. Phelan’s advocacy, an impartial investigation was launched, and Dr. Gabriel Scally, a public health specialist who covered the topic in 2018, served as its director.

The research revealed at least 221 cervical cancer patients who were not previously informed about false-positive smear tests and who might have received early cancer detection information.

The screening program was “doomed to fail at some time,” according to Dr. Scally’s 170 page assessment, and “the faults found are evocative of a whole-system failure.”

Ms. Phelan’s “amazing determination” to remain unafraid was praised by the speaker.

The 221+ CervicalCheck Patient Support Group, which provides assistance to the victims of the CervicalCheck screening debacle, was later established by Ms. Phelan in the wake of the crisis.

They claimed to have lost their “largest big sister.” “We are broken. She warned us that this day would come, but she battled so valiantly that we were unable to accept her prediction.
