Health bosses ‘failing children with diabetes’

ANGRY parents accused health officials yesterday of failing children with diabetes in Munster.

Some are forced to travel to Dublin to get certain treatments because of a lack of funding for specialist staff and care options at the paediatric diabetes unit at Munster’s largest hospital.

Up to 40 members of the Parents Support Group of the Irish Diabetes Federation protested outside Cork University Hospital (CUH) yesterday to highlight what they said was a scandalous situation.
