“We waited all night with her for test results and they told us she was okay. If we had of known they wanted to do more research we would’ve made her stay. She was left on a trolley in a hallway for six hours, a cancer patient, she’d had enough,” Joy Leavy said.“She was bubbly, fun, she saw the good in everyone and everything,” Joy Leavy said.She died four days later after she was found unresponsive at home on the morning of January 22 2018.

A post-mortem report showed that the woman’s cancer was not active but she had chronic inflammation of the liver due to the accumulation of medications.

HSELive there has been an out break of C-diff in naas hospital with patients not been warned, highly infection ppl not isolated and left in A&E, spreading the infection. HSELive and some staff show no regard for sick ppl Naas hospital is an embarrassment and a disgrace

Anyone that has been in a hospital lately especially naas to see have cancer patients are treated would be disgusted and ashamed of what FineGael SimonHarrisTD HSELive are doing at its costing ppl there lives
