HSE urged to fund woman’s rehab

THE father of a paralysed mum forced to travel abroad for rehabilitation pleaded with health bosses last night to fund her treatment.

In a desperate plea, Pat O’Leary, whose daughter Catherine could not get a rehab bed in Ireland, also appealed for lottery winners to help.

He was speaking after the Health Service Executive South confirmed that it has yet to decide if it will fund Catherine’s vital, but expensive, treatment in Britain.
