The head of the HSE has said that six people are facing a disciplinary process in relation to Aoife Johnston as he apologised to the family again for failings in the teenager’s care.

Bernard Gloster said there was still “a risk” of reoccurrence at University Hospital Limerick’s (UHL) emergency department, but the risk was now reduced and said the aim was to make the hospital “safer”.
