Crisis talks over 58,000 unchecked X-rays
Health chiefs will hold crisis talks with one of the country’s largest hospitals today over the discovery that almost 58,000 X-rays were not reviewed by consultant radiologists.
An investigation is being launched after Tallaght Hospital said two patients - one of whom later died and another who is now undergoing cancer treatment – had their diagnoses delayed as a result of the build-up between 2005 and the end of last year.
