Healthcare regulator monitoring trust after report that results from scans and blood tests may have gone missing
Crucial tests and results from scans and blood tests may have been missed by patients after a NHS hospital trust failed to send out 24,000 letters from senior doctors due to a new computer system.
The BBC reported that when letters from staff at the Newcastle Hospitals Foundation NHS trust had to be signed off from a senior doctor they were placed into a folder few staff knew existed and remained unsent.
