A bereaved mother campaigning for health service accountability is demanding Stephen Donnelly explain why the word “accountability” doesn’t appear in the latest Sláintecare progress report.

This will be one of the questions Róisín Molloy, who believes a system of “fitness to manage” hearings should be brought in for health chiefs, will ask when she and her fellow members of the Sláintecare Implementation Advisory Council meet the health minister later today.
