Fergus O'Dowd (Louth, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the need for the HSE to outline why it employed an outside agency to carry out a review of radiology at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda, in 2006; the reason for such a review; if concerns were expressed at the time by consultants in radiology in regard to work practices and staffing levels; and if the HSE will now publish a report on the actions taken since, in view of the fact that more than 4,000 X-rays of patients at the hospital are being reviewed as a direct result of misdiagnoses.
