Two members of HSE forum resign in protest

TWO members of the Health Service Executive (HSE) forum in the north-east resigned yesterday in protest at what they say is the lack of “accountability” and “responsibility” by the HSE to the members of the forum.

Both said the controversy of the misdiagnosis of cancers in Louth and Meath was the final straw.

A former chairman of the North Eastern Health Board, Declan Breathnach, who is also a Fianna Fáil councillor, is one of those who has resigned.
