Description

Thousands of women are having their cervical smear tests re-checked at the Kent and Canterbury Hospital, after mistakes were uncovered during a routine investigation into a laboratory’s screening record. Dr Michael Milligan, Clinical Director of Gynaecology and Obstetrics at the hospital, says that it’s because the hospital is so careful that the problem has come to light.
