A NURSE accused of assaulting and wrongly medicating two patients, one of whom died, at Naas General Hospital has been sent forward for trial to the Circuit Criminal Court.

GARDAÍ have not yet ruled out the possibility of criminal charges in their investigation into the deaths of two patients at Naas General Hospital.

A man whose father’s body was exhumed by gardaí carrying out investigations at a hospital spoke today of the trauma his family had suffered during the past week.

THE inquiry into the activities of a nurse being investigated for the unauthorised administering of drugs to three elderly patients, two of whom died, is to be widened to include her work at a Dublin hospital.
