Two senior medics involved in NI's cervical screening programme have resigned over their concerns about the service.

The review into cervical screening at the Southern Health Trust was triggered when the diagnoses of three women were investigated.

The Southern Health Trust say the review is almost complete, with about 80 women waiting on results being finalised.

Students should be vaccinated against meningitis, HPV and measles, a health authority says.

The health minister made comments as part of a written statement to the assembly.

One million more women would have life-saving checks if the NHS adopted self-testing, researchers estimate.

Referrals have been made to the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) into biomedical staff.
