The husband of a woman with terminal cervical cancer has told the High Court he cannot understand why no one will put their hands up and say mistakes were made

The man told the High Court he is scared about the future, worried about their two children and under stress and pressure that he and his wife should not be under.

Her experts say the smear test taken in 2010 under the CervicalCheck screening programme clearly showed high grade abnormalities. When the controversy over the misreading of smear tests became public after the Vicky Phelan case last year, he said the couple thought they would get help. But he said there was no contact at all from anyone, and he felt very disappointed and let down.

The court heard the woman had begun to feel ill again recently and had another scan on Monday. The man told the court he was very scared about the outcome of this scan.
