Life-saving treatment denied due to Christmas post
Gráinne O’Connor, 27, from Shanagarry, Co Cork, whose epilepsy is life-threatening, applied under the HSE’s treatment abroad scheme (TAS) to travel to London for tests.
She has spent 27 months on a waiting list to be seen at Beaumont Hospital. The HSE refused her application but on Dec 10 told Gráinne she could appeal the decision within 10 working days.
