This has to be the most disgusting cut of all.
For savings of ten million Harney is delaying the roll out of cervical cancer vaccines to young girls.
And to announce the cut on the day of the us elections to minimise the backlash is just really sickening.
Please give me any election to throw this disgusting crowd out !!!
And launch the review into xrays and ct scans in the north east on the Us election day!
Hide the bad news on a busy day!
This Minister has got form.She signed the statuatory instrument for the controversial new children's hospital at the mater the day of the media moratorium (day before the election) so that couldn't be discussed)
She could teach Dick Roche a thing or two!
Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.

Maybe Harney did a favour. In that the HPV Vaccine might not be effective.

Yes it is. The point is giving people vaccines or any form of treatment which don't work or have potential side effects is disastrous.
Thalidomide was one such great thing but its consequences were realised way too late.
If she had any doubt about the vaccine, she should have said she was going to wait for 5 years to see if clinical trials on outcomes supported the use of the date. However, she chose not to use this argument.
Her policy default when faced with a choice between cutting front line service or overhead is to always cut the front line service.
Agreed, but this vaccine has been tested in the UK and elsewhere so the comparison is not valid.

It may be important in the future. But thats not what the Minister said as the reason for the cut.
The Minister cancelled the vaccine due to 'budgetary pressures' If she had cancelled the vaccines due to doubts about its side effects, then fair game. Who would dispute that? But this move displays a willingness to cut important front line services before any move is made to tackle inefficience in the HSE.
Incorrect as the testing would need to go on for 20 years to prove that it worked properly.
It may be more important not to vaccinate if side effects kill more than potentially they could save.
