Breast Cancer Scandal: Exposing the Harm

BBC Health correspondent Sharon Barbour investigates a deepening breast cancer scandal in County Durham. Women have described feeling 'mutilated' after discovering mastectomies they were told they needed were in fact unnecessary. As hundreds of cases of patient harm emerge, Sharon challenges the hospital boss, asking why women were subjected to life-changing surgery they did not need, and whether warnings were ignored

Breast Cancer Scandal: Exposing the Harm airs on BBC Two Northern Ireland HD at 7:00 PM, Thursday 29 October. (Subtitles, new.)
