Leas Cross relatives angry over HSE’s failure to apologise for suffering

RELATIVES of elderly people who died in the care of Leas Cross Nursing Home are angry that no one in the Health Service Executive said sorry for the needless suffering of their loved ones.

Nowhere in the state’s 372-page report into the scandal, published yesterday, could they find any sign of contrition by any member of the HSE.

The north Co Dublin home was shut down in August 2005 after an RTÉ undercover investigation disclosed sub-standard care and management deficiencies.
