Scots thyroid cancer patient faced 'unreasonable' four month delay in diagnosis after biopsy failure

“The board told us that they recognised that an earlier biopsy could have led directly to definitive surgery, without the need for further investigations or procedures and ultimately to a quicker resolution for A.
“They confirmed that they developed a new neck lump clinic as a result of this complaint. We took independent advice from a head and neck surgeon.
“We noted that A
