Group calls on minister to fulfil promise to victims of Dr Neary

Patient Focus will today call on Health minister James Reilly to fulfil a promise made to 35 women who were left out of a redress scheme for former patients of doctor Michael Neary at the Lourdes Hospital.

The women had hysterectomies or had their ovaries removed by Dr Neary, but they were subsequently excluded on age grounds from a compensation scheme.
