'Sorry must be followed by reform', says family of man who died due to medical misadventure 

Ciara Banks holds a picture of her late husband Shane, with Banks family members Allen, Margaret, Mickey, and Ray, at the medical inquest into his death in Galway University Hospital 2019.

HSE chief clinical officer Dr Colm Henry will lead any reforms needed following a coroner’s recommendations after the death of a lung cancer patient, the HSE confirmed.

The family of Shane Banks, 43, made a moving plea for reform to be “monitored, open and transparent” after the coroner’s finding of medical misadventure.
