THE South / South West Hospital Group says there have been nine patients with a delayed or missed diagnoses due to the University Hospital Kerry scans issue.
The review of scans is now three-quarters complete say the Group in their weekly update on the review, with the number of images reviewed at 35,921, from a total of 46,235.
The audit is taking place after three cases of delayed diagnosis came to light in July, resulting in the work of a former consultant radiologist who worked from March 2016 to July 2017 having to be reviewed.
There are ten consultants examining the files and 114 patients have been recalled for repeat imaging with nine having missed or delayed diagnoses. This week, four patients will require further investigation.
