Persistent Edmund gets to talk to minister

“SHE was well guarded, there was no danger of her being kidnapped.”

That was the verdict of a patient at Cork University Hospital yesterday who made several attempts to talk to Health Minister Mary Harney on her visit there. He finally succeeded.

Edmund Boland from Mitchelstown, was one of CUH’s happy patients - the 67-year-old was delighted with the treatment he got at the hospital during his knee operation and aftercare.
