A Mother and the Connacht Tribune

Decision of the Press Council

The complainant submitted an appeal on the grounds that all information was not available to the Ombudsman at the time of his decision.  The Press Council at its meeting on 21 April 2017 considered the matter and took the view that this was not the case and decided to affirm the decision of the Ombudsman. It also decided to ask the HSE to review the consent form used and, if appropriate, to amend it to remove any ambiguity.
