Internal review at the Mater, where Kerry Hospital radiologist ‘briefly’ worked

An internal review has started at the Mater Hospital in Dublin, where the radiologist at the centre of the scans recheck at University Hospital Kerry also worked, it has emerged.

The Mater confirmed yesterday that the radiologist worked as a locum in the hospital for a “very brief” period some years ago.

Because of the situation with scans that has emerged at University Hospital Kerry, the Mater has instigated an initial internal review of any “variant outcomes”, a spokesperson for the Mater said.
