The HSE is paying solicitors €207 an hour to tell courts it can’t afford to compensate patients for damage caused to them in hospitals.

A family which has won a four-year legal battle with the HSE arising out of the death of their sister in Cork University Hospital has called for reforms to end the “culture of non-disclosure” in the healthcare system.

ALL they ever wanted from the HSE was the truth about why their beloved sister died. And an apology.
