NHS Ayrshire and Arran reported the diagnosis of a lung tumour was delayed until after it was no longer operable, though it was present in an earlier scan.
Another case in the area saw doctors remove a healthy organ from a patient after a GP did not forward scan results.
Alex Neil, the Health Minister, said boards should learn from “adverse events” to improve patient safety.

英国政府一位健康顾问近日承认,英国国家医疗服务体系
英国卫生部老年问题首席顾问、大卫-奥利弗教授说,NHS“没能保证对老年人的最基本服务”。
他提醒说,“有证据表明,某些地区的NHS工作人员对老年人存在歧视”,导致英格兰地区的老年人比年轻病人在医院的待遇“成体系地”差得多。
奥利弗教授也是英国卫生部老年服务临床主管。他还告诉英国上议院委员会,需要采取措施改变这一状况。
他说,医院没能进行调整,应对人口老龄化。尽管NHS在治疗致命疾病方面取得了“巨大的成就”,但“明显没能”治疗和照顾那些慢性病患者。
由于病房人满为患,苏格兰鲍德斯医院拒绝为一名癫痫病人进行药物治疗长达五天之久。
