Hospital apologises to man who had to have leg amputated after angiogram

A hospital has apologised in court for the quality of care given to a man who went in for an angiogram but later had to have his right leg amputated.

The unreserved apology contained in a letter from Letterkenny University Hospital, Donegal was read to the High Court today as 77-year-old Hugh McElroy settled his action against the HSE.
