Cancer victim’s sacrifice ‘produced a lot of good’

THE husband of cancer victim Ann Moriarty said yesterday that his wife would be happy that the sacrifice she made has resulted in an improved health service and increased awareness around breast cancer.

Karl Henry was speaking yesterday after the High Court last Thursday approved a €110,000 settlement over the action against the HSE taken by Mr Henry and his son, Ciaran, over their claim that Ms Moriarty’s life was cut short due to alleged failures at the Mid-Western Regional Hospital, Ennis to diagnose her breast cancer.

The HSE denied the claims and the settlement was without admission of liability.
