Following disclosures about the provision of breast cancer services at Barringtons Hospital and Medical Centre, it was agreed to commission an independent review of patients' files in the Hospital during the period 1 September, 2003 to 10 August, 2007.
The chairperson of the review team is Dr. Henrietta Campbell, Chief Executive Officer of the All-Ireland Cancer Foundation and former Chief Medical Officer for Northern Ireland. Barringtons Hospital is co-operating in full with the process. Dr. Campbell expects to finalise a draft report in the next few weeks. Following the completion of the necessary legal formalities, the Report will be submitted to me and to Barringtons Hospital.
