Family asks for no review of child’s death in care

THE family of one of the 37 children who died while in HSE care has contacted the executive asking that the death not be reviewed.

The man appointed by the HSE to oversee the collation of the number of child deaths known to the HSE and social services, Bernard Gloster, said he had been contacted directly by the family and that they had made the request.

He made his comments during a meeting of the Dáil Public Accounts Committee yesterday.
