Cancer patient slams ‘appalling’ hospital

A woman who was wrongly given the all clear for breast cancer for 18 months at Barrington’s Hospital in Limerick has strongly criticised the private hospital.

The Tipperary woman described her ordeal as “appallingly mismanaged” and hit out at the Department of Health for failing to act more quickly and for keeping people in the dark about concerns regarding the cancer detecting services at Barrington’s.
