Four patients in Kerry scan review need treatment

Four patients, who were asked to return to University Hospital Kerry (UHK) for further radiological investigation as part of a major review of scans, will require additional treatment.

The four are among a total of 72 patients recalled after concerns were raised in relation to imaging work overseen by a doctor who no longer works at the hospital.

That number could rise further, as more than 12,000 scans have yet to be scrutinised.
