The HSE’s being urged to review all its IT systems after a major glitch went undetected for six years.

The computer error affected the results of patient x-rays and scans and means a number of people may have been treated inappropriately.

It’s understood the glitch dates back to 2011 and affects around 25,000 patients.

Fianna Fáil Health spokesperson Billy Kelleher says the authority needs a root and branch review of its systems.
