Eight women given the all-clear after being screened for breast cancer are now being treated for the disease after a review of the service in Cumbria.Oops.
In July, North Cumbria University Hospitals NHS Trust announced breast screening was being temporarily halted for a major review to be carried out.
It involved 1,600 women who had had further tests following routine mammograms since April 2007.
The trust has apologised for any distress caused.

"Truth" has a shelf life.
The shelf life of "truth" is very short in the domains of fitness, health and well-being.
The reason is that so much of what we are told is "true" is really baseless.
At Fitness Watch we separate fitness information from fitness noise.
