Systems and processes in place around patient safety failed in terms of the work of a Belfast-based neurologist, an inquiry has found.
Dr Michael Watt was at the centre of Northern Ireland's largest ever recall of patients, which began in 2018, after concerns were raised about his clinical work. More than 4,000 of his former patients attended recall appointments.
Almost a fifth of patients who attended recall appointments were found to have received an "insecure diagnosis". The final report following the Independent Neurology Inquiry found that problems with Dr Watt's practice were missed for years and opportunities to intervene were lost.
