Understandable the public suspects Grace report cover-up, admits HSE official

The head of HSE disability services said he understands why the public suspects the health authority tried to cover up in the ‘Grace’ scandal.

Dr Cathal Morgan said he could not explain why the HSE avoided bringing the case of the vulnerable child to court, would not share health records, and waited three years after receiving a damning internal report before contacting gardaí.

“I understand why people have those feelings,” he said.
