HSE shortlists consultants to lead X-ray probe

THE HSE has short-listed four internationally renowned consultant radiologists to lead a “warts and all” investigation into Tallaght hospital’s X-ray review standards.

The Irish Examiner understands that the shortlist, which includes at least two physicians from outside Ireland, will be reduced to a single candidate by the end of this week.

No terms of reference for the HSE-organised review are due to be finalised until Friday.
