Health authorities are scouring the treatment records of cancer patients at three separate clinics as a slew of inquiries probe the practices of the doctor accused of administering incorrect chemotherapy doses.

As NSW Health launches its inquiry into Associate Professor John Grygiel for giving 70 cancer patients incorrect doses of the drug carboplatin at St Vincent's Hospital, a separate investigation will probe the records of cancer patients treated by the oncologist at outreach clinics in Bathurst and Orange

The inquiry aims to discover whether any head and neck cancer patients at the clinics were administered carboplatin by Dr Grygiel, Western NSW Local Health District says.

"The health district will make contact with any patients or their families who are identified as receiving incorrect dosing," the director of governance Di Wykes said.
