No HSE report six years after patient’s death

The HSE has refused to reveal details of an investigation launched six years ago into the death of a patient in a Co Cork hospital.

HSE South launched the investigation shortly after Hannah Comber, 75, died at Heatherside Hospital, near Buttevant, in June 2006.

The psychogeriatric patient had been restless that night and was removed by staff to a day room, where she was put in a restraining chair.
