Hospital apologises for shortcomings in care provided to man who suffered brain haemorrhage

South Tipperary General Hospital has apologised in the High Court for the shortcomings in the care it provided to a father of five, who was sent home from hospital on three occasions after he had complained of headaches, but died later of a brain haemorrhage.

The hospital says it has now drafted and implemented a headache protocol following the tragic death of 28-year old Evan Morrissey.
