It comes after Vicky Phelan's incorrect cancer result highlighted failings in the CervicalCheck programme.
Her case came to light after the 43-year-old mother-of-two was awarded €2.5m by the High Court. The HSE had sought a confidentiality clause with Ms Phelan as part of the settlement, which she refused.
Since then, over 10,000 women have contacted an emergency helpline set up by the HSE over concerns raised by the recent controversy.
