HSE to probe Tallaght Hospital scandal
The HSE has begun an investigation into how 58,000 x-rays failed to be reviewed by a consultant radiologist at Tallaght Hospital in line with standard practice.
One patient patient died and another is receiving treatment for cancer at the moment.
The investigation will be chaired by a person independent of Tallaght Hospital and the HSE.
The details will be announced in the coming days.
While the hospital has begun to review the x-rays which were done between 2005 and 2009 - 14,000 patients, have yet be told if there is a question mark over their x-rays.
