Hidden Scars: An NHS Scandal
Hidden Scars: An NHS Scandal
Health correspondent Sharon Barbour uncovers how the cases of nearly 1,600 women undergoing breast cancer treatment are now being investigated after a damning report by the Royal College of Surgeons. Newly released documents reveal that serious problems with breast cancer care and treatment in Co Durham go back more than six years. Sharon also finds evidence of a financial deal with the hospital that allowed a clinic run by an NHS doctor to be paid millions - while many patients suffered poor care. Women at the heart of this story share the psychological and physical scars they've kept hidden
Hidden Scars: An NHS Scandal airs on BBC One North East & Cumbria HD at 7:30 PM, Friday 28 November. (Subtitles, new.)
