Harney vows to tackle nursing shortage at Crumlin hospital

The Tánaiste and Minister for Health has vowed to recruit the necessary amount of specialist nurses at Crumlin children's hospital to prevent another tragedy like the death of Róisín Ruddle.

Mary Harney was responding to the publication of a report into the death of the two-year-old Limerick girl a day after her surgery was cancelled at Our Lady's Hospital for Sick Children in 2003.
