Whistleblower in South East nursing home death hasn't been interviewed four years after complaint

Kilkenny TD John McGuinness says a whistleblower who raised concerns about a 2015 death has been "met with resistance at every level".

The HSE has been criticised for not interviewing a whistleblower who flagged major concerns in the care of an elderly patient leading up to her death, almost four years after the complaint was made.

The patient died in 2015 following a "rapid decline" in her health at the HSE-run facility in the South East, with the executive forming an internal review group in 2020 to examine what happened to the patient and whether there was anyone at fault in relation to the decline in her health.
