HSE ordered to pay nurse €10k due to way it handled complaint by disabled girl's father

The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) has recommended that the HSE pay a public health nurse €10,000 for the way it handled a formal complaint against the nurse by the father of a disabled girl.

In the case, the public health nurse has not returned to work due to stress since February of last year after a newspaper ran a story based on the father’s complaints over the HSE’s refusal to provide treatment to his daughter.
