Ahern reiterates govt apology to Neary patients
An Taoiseach Bertie Ahern has reiterated his Government's apology for the suffering endured by women who had their wombs unnecessarily removed by Dr Michael Neary.
A report yesterday revealed the disgraced obstetrician carried out 129 hysterectomies at Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda between 1974 and 1998, when most doctors would only perform 10 or so in their entire careers.
