Beaumont Hospital reps to meet family of late Gerry Feeney to address 'failings in his care'

Representatives of Beaumont Hospital in Dublin will meet the family of the late Gerry Feeney next month to show how they are addressing “failings” in the care of the 81-year-old man.

The hospital apologised to the family as an independent review found Mr Feeney had not been treated with dignity in the last weeks of his life.

A photograph taken by a relative last December showed Mr Feeney wearing a stained hospital gown pulled up to his hips. An incontinence pad he was wearing was undone, leaving him exposed.
