Hospital Trust 'deeply sorry' for mistaken texts to patients
Bosses at the Trust say they've contacted all patients personally to apologise
Royal Cornwall Hospitals tell us a 'small number' of patients have been mistakenly contacted - with a text message saying they might have cancer.
Bosses at the Trust say they've contacted all patients personally - adding they're 'deeply sorry' to have caused stress and anxiety.
They say it was an isolated incident.
In a statement sent to us, they added: “We can confirm a small number of patients have received an incorrect text message following an error in our patient messaging system. This is an isolated incident and action has been taken to prevent further messages being sent in error.
“We have contacted all patients personally to provide reassurance and to allay any concerns they may have. We are deeply sorry for the anxiety this has caused.”
