Tallaght X-ray review finds no late diagnoses
No further delayed diagnoses have been discovered following a review of unreported X-rays at Tallaght hospital, the board of the hospital said last night.
It was revealed last month that almost 58,000 X-rays had never been seen by a consultant radiologist. Two cases of delayed diagnosis were reported last month and one of these patients has died.
However, no further delayed diagnoses were discovered after the backlog in radiology had been cleared, according to a progress report for the board.
Judge urges victims to report abuse
A senior judge yesterday urged victims of child sexual abuse to come forward with their complaints to the police.
Judge Piers Grant made the appeal at the Crown Court in Derry when he jailed a 60-year-old local man for seven years for the sexual abuse of his niece over 12 years starting in 1986 when she was aged four.
Judge Grant said it was difficult for complainants to give their evidence in court but he hoped with special measures victims would find it easier to give their evidence.
The victim delayed reporting the abuse to police until after her grandmother died in 2002.
