Harney faces question over woman’s death

MINISTER for Health Mary Harney will be pressed in the Dáil on the delay in completing an investigation into the death of a 75-year-old woman at a Co Cork hospital on June 22, 2006.

Deputy David Stanton, who will raise the issue in Leinster House, said he was concerned about the delay on the report on the death of Hannah Comber.

His Fine Gael colleague, Cllr Liam O’Doherty, the Health Executive Service (South Forum) chairman, said yesterday he had asked HSE officials in February when the report would be finalised.
