FG claim missing medical files no coincidence

Fine Gael Deputy, Jim Higgins, claimed in the Dail today that it is no coincidence that the medical records of a key witness in the McBrearty tribunal have gone missing.

The statement came as the Minister for Health, Jim Higgins, established an Inquiry into how the psychiatric records of Roisin McConnell disappeared from a hospital in Letterkenny.

Earlier today Fine Gael is demanded that the Health Minister investigate how the medical files went missing.

The North Western Health board has confirmed that the psychiatric reports of Roisin McConnell, who claims she had a nervous breakdown after being interrogated by gardai, have disappeared.

Fine Gael’s Jim Higgins says if the Minister cannot get to the bottom of this, the Gardai must investigate.
