Not every HSE story is a bad one

Jillian Godsil: 'Kindness exemplified their treatment.'

The HSE is used to criticisms; this week figures released by the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) point to 708 people waiting for beds. Today I want to tell a different story, a positive one about the Breast Check Clinic.

On October 1 of last year, I was called for a routine mammogram. I thought nothing of it, even when the nurse said I might be called back to attend the Breast Check Clinic in Vincent’s. A week later I had that invitation.
