Former health minister Simon Harris has urged the HSE to "establish the facts" in the case of a woman's care at a Waterford nursing home, and to interview a whistleblower who claimed staff neglected the patient in the weeks leading up to her death.

Mr Harris said he was "very concerned" at an Irish Examiner report that a healthcare assistant had not been interviewed, almost four years after making a protected disclosure to the HSE.
