Victim of Neary ‘close to justice’

A woman whose womb and ovaries were needlessly removed by disgraced obstetrician Michael Neary said yesterday her fight for justice was almost over.

Marie Reaburn plunged into early menopause when the shamed consultant wrongly took out her reproductive organs as she underwent surgery for a fibroid, anon-cancerous growth in the womb.

The 60-year-old was among 29 women excluded from a state redress scheme because they were over 40 years of age at the time.
