SAOLTA CEO Tony Canavan will be quizzed at a meeting with Regional Health Forum members tomorrow following the termination of a radiologist’s contract at Letterkenny University Hospital after just ten days.
Mr Canavan called the meeting with members of the health forum and Oireachtas members after serious concerns were raised about patient safety.
The male radiologist was employed on a locum basis in September and has now had their contract terminated after it emerged there were errors in more than one third of hundreds of scans.
A full review of the clinician’s work including X-rays and Ultrasounds to provide assurance regarding patient safety is now underway.
