Veronica O'Meara’s family settles with HSE over misread 2008 smear test that delayed her cervical cancer diagnosis.
The family of Veronica O’Meara, who died of cervical cancer in 2011 at age 33, has settled a High Court case against the HSE over a 2008 smear test that was reportedly misread, delaying her diagnosis until her cancer had reached Stage 3.
The settlement, overseen by the court, involved a €35,000 statutory mental distress payment divided between her husband and daughter.
University Hospital Galway apologized, acknowledging care fell short of standards, though no liability was admitted.
Mr Justice Paul Coffey expressed sympathy for the family, highlighting the lasting impact of the loss.
