Terminally ill midwife sought speedy settlement against HSE to buy anti-cancer drug

, who is seriously ill with terminal cancer, wants now to “die in peace” with the resolution of her case against the HSE.

Although her indemnity was restored in February 2015 she could not practise until the HSE carried out a systems analysis. Her midwifery practices were exonerated by both her own and independent experts and she was free to return to practise in 2016, but by then, she says she had “lost everything”. Last year she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, believed she had beaten it but by October it had returned and spread to her abdomen.
