CervicalCheck report author says 9 men on 13-strong panel marks ‘deficient’ process
The doctor who led the CervicalCheck inquiry has said the gender-imbalanced panel who picked the new master of Dublin’s Rotunda maternity hospital was an “outrageously old-fashioned and antiquated approach”., who criticised a culture of paternalism that left 221 women in the dark about smear test audits in his report on the CervicalCheck controversy, said nine men on an interview panel of 13 was a “sloppy” and “outmoded, ineffective and deficient way of doing things”.
He said it was reminiscent of a paternalistic culture “that the oldest maternity hospital in the world has never had a woman leader and that an important appointments panel should be so unbalanced in terms of gender” . Dr Scally said one recommendation in his CervicalCheck report was that women’s health should be put “very firmly centre stage” in Irish health service and that meant making sure women were involved in decision-making about healthcare and women’s healthcare.He added that equality in healthcare “has to go from top to bottom and bottom to top; it is very difficult to argue for equality if it is not demonstrated at the highest level”.
