Hospital failure: Frances could have been saved
The North Eastern Health Board yesterday admitted a “failure to adequately assess and manage” patient Frances Sheridan from New Line, Cootehill, Co Cavan, who died on last February 1, 36 hours after she was discharged from Cavan General Hospital.
Her parents, Brian and Rosemary, said last night they were greatly distressed by the board’s findings and found it “devastating” that their daughter’s death may have been avoided if she had been properly treated.
