The Cameron Inquiry Report is the result of the The Commission of Inquiry on Hormone Receptor Testing that had been established by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador after it was revealed that breast cancer tests conducted by Eastern Health were inaccurate.  Headed by Justice Cameron, the Cameron Inquiry was divided into two parts.

During part one of the Cameron Inquiry, the Commission inquired into and reported on problems with estrogen and progesterone hormone receptor tests that had been conducted between 1997 and 2005 in the Newfoundland and Labrador health care system, primarily Eastern Health.  Part two of the Cameron Inquiry will examine policy and include a review of both policy and legal issues raised by the terms of reference that had been established by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador.

This is expected to examine the duties, if any, of the responsible authorities to patients, other parties within the health care system, and the public respecting differences in test results on re-testing.  During part two of the Inquiry, it will be determined whether the estrogen and progesterone hormone receptor testing systems and processes and quality assurance systems currently in place are reflective of "best practices".

Critics have expressed concerns over intereverence of by various Ministers during the Inquiry, especially Jerome Kennedy and Premier Danny Williams, both of whom questioned the inquiry practices and expenditures.  These criticisms faced harsh comments from the opposition, media and public who were following the Cameron Inquiry.

The Cameron Inquiry official report is anxiously anticipated and will be presented to the public during a press conference scheduled for March 2, 2009 at 12:30 P.M.
