Organ probe report being ‘hidden’

HEALTH Minister Micheál Martin has been accused of keeping a report on the State inquiry into the organ retention scandal under wraps.

The charge was made yesterday by Parents for Justice, the support group for more than 800 families who discovered their deceased children’s organs were removed and retained by hospitals without their knowledge or consent.

The interim report by inquiry chairperson Anne Dunne SC was given to Mr Martin in October.
