Final stages of radiology review
Friday 15th August 2008
A review of a Scottish radiologist's work is in its latter stages, the Irish Health Service Executive (HSE) has said.
The BBC reports that the full report will be available next month.
Concerns have been raised about Dr James Murray's interpretation of X-rays.
Cases dealt with by him and others at a Scottish hospital are also being re-examined by NHS Highland.
Dr Murray also worked as a locum in Irish hospitals.
In June, it formed a critical incident team to ensure no patient had an ongoing, undiagnosed ailment which should have been detected earlier.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde said a review of all its cases with Dr Murray had not found any serious discrepancies.
Last month, the Belfast Telegraph reported that a third consultant pathologist at University College Hospital Galway was being reviewed over concerns about his work.
HSE West said it had been told he was suspended from the UK medical register for 18 months after concerns were raised about errors he made there.
