HSE apologises to family of man who died after operation on wrist

The HSE has sincerely apologised for its various failings in its treatment of a 44-year-old father of three who died after severe brain injuries he sustained following surgery he underwent at a Co Kerry hospital on a broken wrist.

Michael Devane died in early October 2007, after being operated more than a week previously at Kerry General Hospital, Tralee on his broken wrist.
