My Department understands from the Health Service Executive that the review team expects to conclude its work by mid-July. I welcome the completion at the end of April this year of the process of reading and reporting on x-rays that were previously not read by consultant radiologists at Tallaght Hospital and also the management of GP referral letters at the hospital and the fact no further delayed diagnoses were found other than the two initially identified.
