In co-operation with Barrington's Hospital, an expert group has been established to undertake a clinical review of the cases of women who attended the symptomatic breast disease services at the Hospital between September 2003 and August 2007. The group expects to complete its work in December.

The Health Information and Quality Authority has commenced an investigation into the pathology and symptomatic breast disease services provided by University College Hospital Galway in respect of the period 1 January 2005 to 31 May 2007. Terms of reference have been agreed and an investigation team has been established. It is expected that a full report will issue in January 2008.
