Harney promises speedy closure for victims of Dr Neary

The Tánaiste and Minister for Health Mary Harney has vowed to bring closure to the victims of Dr Michael Neary as soon as possible.

Ms Harney agreed yesterday to set up a redress scheme to decide on compensation for 250 women who underwent needless surgery at the hands of the Drogheda obstetrician, including many who had their wombs unnecessarily removed.
