"These patients will now be contacted by Spire Healthcare and, where appropriate, offered a review of the treatment they received by Paterson over 20 years ago and support," the firm said. "Over the past couple of years, we've been absolutely committed to identifying, tracking down and contacting all living patients of Ian Paterson, regardless of when they were treated," she said.

"The fact that 1,500 patients could have been missed off both previous recalls shows how extensively Spire enabled Paterson to practise," she said.
