Mother of 11-year-old suicide victim to sue HSE over ‘flaws’ in system

The mother of an 11-year-old girl who died by suicide has begun legal action against the HSE to “expose the flaws” within the health care system.

Fiona Tuomey alleges that these flaws contributed to the death of her daughter, Milly Tuomey, in 2016.

The case, against the HSE, a private psychology clinic, St John of God community services, a doctor and a therapist, was launched on January 3, almost two years to the day after Milly’s death, according to a report in yesterday’s Sunday Independent.
