Delays in radiology results 'affecting patient care'

Delays in radiology results 'affecting patient care' The regulator of heath care services in England is calling for a limit on how long it takes to report the results of patients' x-rays and scans.

The Care Quality Commission's review of radiology practices found that the process could vary from one hour to two working days in hospital A&Es.

This could mean delays in results being shared with doctors and patients receiving timely care.

The review also said there were not enough radiologists to meet demand. BBC News
