Four patients at Altnagelvin Hospital have received a late diagnosis of cancer as a result of a huge backlog in dealing with x-rays. Written assessments of 18 and a half thousand x-rays were not carried out for months because of staff and equipment shortages. The Western Health Trust said the backlog had now been cleared. It also apologised to the patients affected. Our Health Correspondent Marie-Louise Connolly reports.
