Seven women are taking legal advice over a clinical negligence claim against a hospital where they were wrongly given the all-clear for breast cancer following screening errors.

It emerged 18 women were misdiagnosed after a study of hundreds of mammograms carried out at Accrington Victoria Community Hospital in East Lancashire.

The NHS trust said screen mistakes by one radiologist failed to detect the disease.

Seven patients have now instructed personal injury and clinical negligence experts to assist in their fight for compensation.

As forensic accountants Frenkels have a great deal of expertise in handling the financial aspects of personal injury and clinical negligence claims, both acting for the Claimant and the insurer.
