Reilly to face grilling over nursing home death report

Health Minister James Reilly is to be asked in the Dáil why, after seven years, the HSE has yet to publish a report into the death of a 75-year-old woman at a hospital in Co Cork.

The HSE launched an investigation shortly after Hannah Comber died at the former Heatherside Hospital in Jun 2006.

The psychogeriatric patient had been put in a restraining chair by staff who attached a belt around her waist, but she slipped down the chair and the belt choked her.
