Report on cancer diagnosis error likely next month
Shortly before Christmas the Health Information and Quality Authority, which is carrying out the investigation, announced that publication of the report was being postponed because new information had come to light.
The authority was commissioned to compile the report in May by Health Service Executive chief Prof Brendan Drumm, after it emerged Tipperary woman Rebecca O’Malley, 41, had to have a mastectomy following a 14-month delay in diagnosing the cancer.
