CUH refuses to reveal new protocols introduced after 2018 sex attack on teen

A 17-year-old girl was attacked in 2018 by Andrew O’Donovan, a 62-year-old patient in the bed beside her who had a long history of mental illness

Cork University Hospital.

People should seek access to Cork University Hospital's admissions policy because of management's refusal to outline changes to protocols following a sex attack on a ward in 2018, a leading campaigner has said. 

Mary Crilly, chief executive of the Sexual Violence Centre Cork, was responding to CUH’s continued refusal to make any detailed statement about the changes to protocols in the wake of the sexual assault of a girl in an all-male room.
