HSE Apologises After an Offaly Woman Dies Following Alleged Misdiagnosis
The High Court has approved a settlement of 65,000 euro to the family of a woman who died from lung cancer after an allegedly wrong diagnosis.
It is claimed Esther Galvin of Tullamore in Co. Offaly was told she had depression by a consultant at the Midland Regional Hospital 13 months before her death in August 2006.
There has been no admission of liability.
The solicitor for the family Declan O'Flaherty spoke on their behalf outside court.
"Yesterday Esther Galvin should have celebrated her birthday - today her families' long search for answers about the events leading to her death more than 4 years ago came to an end" he said.
"The family acknowledge the HSE's apology for the failure to diagnose Esther's lung cancer".
"The Galvin family encourage other families and individuals in a similar position to continue in their quest for answers" he added
