Calls for review to include previous 10 years

THE true scale of the miscarriage misdiagnosis scandal will not be uncovered unless the scope of the investigation is expanded to include the past 10 years, it has been claimed.

Speaking to the Irish Examiner after the publication of the detailed report, Association for Improvements in the Maternity Services (AIMS) Ireland spokeswoman Krysia Lynch said the sheer number of potential cases indicated more women have potentially suffered.

Independent review chair Professor William Ledger and Head of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Sheffield University ruled out extending the review.
