A hospital trust failed to send out 24,000 letters from senior doctors to patients and their GPs after they became lost in a new computer system.
Newcastle Hospitals warned the problem, dating back to 2018, is significant.
The BBC has been told the problems occurred when letters requiring sign-off from a senior doctor were placed into a folder few staff knew existed.
