Breast Cancer Inquiry Top Story 2008


Posted on Jun 02, 2009

The Telegram newspaper of St. John’s put forward the Breast Cancer Inquiry as its top story for 2008, in its end of year edition.  Nine other news stories were nominated, but the Inquiry was listed as number one. 

The Inquiry, officially known as the Commission of Inquiry into Hormone Receptor Testing, was established by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador in May 2007 after the Breast  Cancer Testing Class Action forced Eastern Health to disclose information which showed a 44% rate of error in hormone testing.  The period covered was 1997 to 2005.  Hearings ran from March 2008 to the end of October 2008.  A report is expected at the end of February 2009.

The St. John’s firm of Ches Crosbie Barristers is class counsel to the Breast Cancer Testing Class Action.
