Lack of post-op facilities criticised

A DOCTOR representing the family of a woman who died suddenly following routine surgery has criticised the Bon Secours Hospital in Glasnevin for not having facilities to deal with common post-operative complications when they carry out operations.

An inquest into the death of Una Fitzgerald Hanrahan also heard how hospital protocol was not followed after her operation.

Ms Fitzgerald Hanrahan, aged 39, of Lower Kimmage Road, Dublin 6, died at the Bon Secours Hospital in Dublin on August 21, 2010.
