Concerns over safety of patients at Portlaoise hospital

Latest revelations about patient safety at Portlaoise Hospital raise serious questions for the Government, according to Fianna Fáil health spokesman Billy Kelleher.

“We cannot be expected to wait any longer to get to the bottom of the tragic deaths of five babies at Portlaoise and to get answers about the wider safety concerns at the hospital,” Mr Kelleher said.

He was commenting on newspaper articles in relation to the draft report by the health regulator, which is expected to be published this month.
