Solihull Hospital inquiry 'overlooking' patients
Some patients say they have been largely "ignored" by an inquiry into breast cancer care in Solihull.
The review is looking at breast cancer care at Solihull Hospital after concerns were raised over procedures carried out by surgeon Ian Paterson between 1994 and 2011.
Mr Paterson was suspended by the General Medical Council last year and a police investigation into the circumstances surrounding the surgery is ongoing.
The Heart of England NHS Trust said patients had been repeatedly approached to come forward and take part in the independent inquiry led by Sir Ian Kennedy.
Sir Ian's report is expected to be published in two months and the lawyer said patients were very much at the "centre" of his investigations.
