Crumlin Children's Hospital apologises to families over scare

Our Lady's Children's Hospital in Crumlin has apologised to 18 families who were wrongly identified as being at the centre of a contamination scare over a medical scope.

In a statement, the hospital says contact has been made with seven new patients - separate from the 18 who have now been given the all-clear - to notify them that their children may have caught a bug as a result of a cracked medical scope.
