A barrister has brought High Court proceedings over an alleged refusal by the Beacon Hospital to allow him to get any treatment at the private medical facility.

The action has been brought by Alan Toal, who has been a patient at the Beacon for over a decade, where he has been treated and undergone several significant surgeries for spinal and nerve complaints, which have seriously impacted his health.
