With reference to the report by Waylon Johnston, “Personality claims misdiagnosis. Cancer sufferer told changes in her breasts were ‘normal’” (December 29), the Ministry of Health, the Elderly and Community Care would like to clarify that the patient in question was being examined and followed up in the private sector and not in any of the public hospitals

Any reference to misdiagnosis of the case does not refer to Mater Dei Hospital.
