Executive Summary
An investigation is being launched in Ireland into why a Dublin hospital failed to have tens of thousands of X-ray images double-checked and formally reported on by consultant radiologists. The backlog of so-called "unreported" X-rays at Tallaght hospital, dating back to 2005, grew to almost 58,000, Clinica has learnt.
