Review focuses on one audiologist

A REVIEW of audiology services in the Health Service Executive South (HSE) is focusing on one clinician despite the involvement of a second audiologist in a misdiagnosis.

Yesterday the HSE said the type of review now under way, which involves the recall of 1,231 children and adults, was prompted “by patterns of clinical practice that cause concern”.

A statement from the HSE said the “pattern of concern” in the current review “relates to one individual clinician only”.
