There has been widespread public concern among parents over what one local mother referred to as a “lack of true commitment and due care” by the HSE to children with diabetes at Mullingar Regional Hospital.
Earlier this month, the parents of 130 children of the hospital’s Paediatric Diabetes Unit received a letter from Paediatric Consultant, Professor Michael O’Grady, regretfully informing them that “due to ongoing, unsafe staffing levels”, all paediatric diabetes clinic appointments would be cancelled “with immediate effect”.
