Liver transplant woman remains critical

A HEPATITIS C sufferer, flown by air ambulance to a London hospital on Saturday for a life saving operation, remains critically ill.

Kings College Hospital spokeswoman Claire Pirie said Sylvia O’Leary, a 32-year-old mother of two, remained critical in the hospital’s intensive care unit: “There are no immediate plans for surgery. A liver is not yet available.”

She said the priority was to keep Mrs O’Leary, from Ballincollig, Co Cork, stable and comfortable.
