Wexford General Hospital is under the spotlight today as it's emerged that 13 Cancer cases may have been missed by a consultant there.
A review, due to be published later, will say the Cancers weren't noticed during colonoscopy screenings.
Hundreds of colonoscopies at Wexford General Hospital have been examined by external experts hired by the HSE.
They were called in after concerns were raised about the conclusions drawn from routine tests.
Reviewers found that 13 patients had Cancers that were either missed in the original screenings, or developed since then.
They were all under the care of the same consultant, who's been on leave since the issue emerged 2 years ago.
The hospital has apologised to patients.
The published review is expected to highlight any potential flaws in their quality assurance measures.
