Woman dies after Scottish cancer screening error

Woman dies after Scottish cancer screening error A woman has died from cervical cancer after being wrongly excluded from Scotland's screening programme.

Public Health Minister Maree Todd said about 430 women who had partial hysterectomies were wrongly told they didn't need to be screened.

A "small number" of these women later developed cervical cancer and one has since died. BBC News
