HSE asks Shatter to withdraw report from public record

Fine Gael TD Alan Shatter is said to be "considering" the HSE's request that he withdraw from the public record a report into the case of a young woman who died in 2002 while in State care.

FG Children's spokesperson Shatter yesterday published the damning report into the case of the 18-year-old - identified in the document by the initials 'TF' - which highlighted a litany of failures in the social services' handling of her case.
