Hep C scare patients expecting notification
More than 450 people will hear today if they are facing blood tests as part of a Hepatitis C scare at a number of hospitals in the northwest and west.
A review of patients was undertaken when it was discovered a surgeon who worked at three facilities between 2004 and 2008 had contracted the disease.
The HSE sent letters out on Friday, asking patients to attend a precautionary screening.
