RÓISÍN RUDDLE'S heartbroken parents say they will be forever haunted by their daughter's death because her chance of life was denied by a health system they had trusted.

COMING in the wake of the scathingly critical report into the untimely death of two-year-old Róisín Ruddle, whose lifesaving operation was postponed, today’s heart-rending statement from her parents should be made required reading at every hospital in the country.
