Some women may have waited almost a year now for a result from their cervical check screening.

That's according to Fianna Fáil's health spokesman, Stephen Donnelly.

The HSE says 800 women haven't received the test-results because of an IT problem at a US lab.

It mainly involves women who were sent for rechecks between last October and June 25th of this year.

The HSE has apologised, but Deputy Donnelly says that's not good enough.
