A review of 17,451 smear tests ordered by Warwickshire health authority has sounded the all-clear for the original results. The review exercise was ordered after a smaller review of 500 slides suggested there might be problems with a screening service in Rugby.
Only 175 slides were read as more serious than originally thought, while 875 were read as less serious. Eighteen women were advised to have further medical investigations.
None had cancer.
