HSE to probe services given to woman

HEALTH experts investigating the death of a woman found severely malnourished in her daughter’s home will scrutinise the services offered to her in her last two years alive.

The three-member team will have access to all files, records and expertise as required during their inquiry into the death of 58-year-old Evelyn Joel, nee Connolly, from Enniscorthy, Co Wexford.

Ms Joel, who had multiple sclerosis, died on January 7 after being removed from the home of her daughter, Eleanor Connolly, at Cluain Dara Estate in Enniscorthy, by emergency services a few days earlier. She weighed less than four stone.
