No further delayed diagnoses have been discovered following a review of unreported X-rays at Tallaght hospital, the board of the hospital said tonight.
It was revealed last month that almost 58,000 x-rays had never been seen by a consultant radiologist.
Two cases of delayed diagnosis were also reported last month, one of these patients has died.
However no further delayed diagnoses were discovered after the backlog in radiology had been cleared, according to a progress report received by the board last evening.
A backlog of unprocessed GP referral letters, which was revealed last month, had also been actioned and patients are “actively being seen”, the statement said.
The hospital has also taken steps to modernise management, to improve governance and has established a directorate of quality, the statement added.
