NHS trust admits unnecessary breast removals for women
An NHS trust in northeast England has admitted that twenty women underwent unnecessary mastectomies, with hundreds more affected by serious failures in breast cancer treatment. An internal review identified harm to 315 patients, including 77 significantly harmed, and a potential delay or misdiagnosis of cancer in some cases. The trust is now investigating cases dating back to 2015, amid calls for a public inquiry and ongoing police investigations into possible criminal conduct. Women affected have expressed distress and frustration over the long-term physical and psychological consequences of these errors.
