The psychiatrist who identified attention deficit disorder - the condition blamed for the bad behaviour of hundreds of thousands of children - has admitted that many may not really be ill.

Dr Robert Spitzer said that up to 30 per cent of youngsters classified as suffering from disruptive and hyperactive conditions could have been misdiagnosed.

Cllr Mulherin added: “The absence of a national cervical screening programme along with the non-availability of BreastCheck in the north and west means that Irish women are being denied vital services which can mean the difference between life and death.

Screening methods have been shown to be effective for breast and cervical cancer — Northern Ireland has had a breast screening service in place since 1993 and deaths from breast cancer there have fallen by one-fifth in the last decade while remaining constant in the Republic.

Detailing her party’s health manifesto, Cllr Mulherin said: “Fine Gael is determined to redress the bal...
