The Health Information and Quality Authority (Hiqa) is to begin a second review of gynaecology services at Letterkenny University Hospital today, as a follow-up to a probe into cases of delayed cancer diagnosis.

Concerns about services at the hospital were first raised 2018 and an external review into the totality of post-menopausal bleeding services within the gynaecology services at Letterkenny University Hospital was commissioned by the HSE in 2019.
