HSE Being Urged To Review IT Systems
The HSE's being urged to review all its IT systems after a major glitch went undetected for six years.
The computer error affected the results of patient x-rays and scans and means a number of people may have been treated inappropriately.
It's understood the glitch dates back to 2011 and affects around 25-thousand patients.
However Cork University Hospital and the Mercy University Hospital have moved to reassure patients and say no one who had x-rays, MRI's, CT scans or ultrasounds at the hospital were affected.
Fianna Fáil Health spokesperson Billy Kelleher says the authority needs a route and branch review of its systems:
