GOLD COAST HEALTH UNDER INVESTIGATION AFTER X-RAY OVERSIGHT

Gold Coast Health is at the centre of an investigation after admitting around 48-thousand x-rays taken since September last year weren’t examined by specialist radiologists.

As a result two patients have had what the hospital has described as “adverse outcomes.”

“It is a very big number I accept, but it is a group of very very low risk patients.”

It’s since recommended the state government appoint an independent expert to investigate.

Gold Coast Health says it’s working to clear backlog of un-examined x-rays.
