Family forced to go public after HSE refuses request for probe

LESS than a year after receiving the all-clear for breast cancer, Ann Moriarty died, leaving behind a devastated husband and teenage son.

Ann’s husband, Karl Henry, said last night he was forced to go public on his wife’s tragic death because the Health Service Executive refused his request for an independent investigation.

The family claim that Ann, who was 53 when she died on April 25 last, was the victim of a number of serious misdiagnoses and administrative errors in Ennis General Hospital during the summer of 2007.
