Over 9,000 patients contacted in Northern Trust review
More than 9,000 Northern Trust patients have been contacted in a review of the work of a locum consultant radiologist.
"We have written to 9,091 patients or the parents/guardians, where appropriate, to make them aware of the review," said the trust's medical director, Seamus O'Reilly. Speaking to the BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme, Dr O'Reilly said the trust would be in touch with affected patients "as soon as is practically possible".Dr O'Reilly said the locum is understood to still be working "within the UK".The images were all taken at Antrim Area Hospital, Causeway Hospital, Whiteabbey Hospital, Mid Ulster Hospital or the Ballymena Health and Care Centre.
"That does not mean that they will all have come to harm as a result but we will be making a further clinical assessment in each of those cases."This is the latest in a series of reviews being carried out across the health service in Northern Ireland.
