Consultants group 'alarmed' by Govt response to mortuary issues in Waterford hospital

The Government's response to claims about the state of University Hospital Waterford's mortuary has been described as "alarming" by a group representing over 90% of hospital consultants.

The Irish Hospital Consultants Association said it fully supported the consultant pathologists in UHW who last October wrote to the South/South West Hospital Group's chief executive about the need to address inadequate facilities in the hospital's mortuary.
