Harris orders review of emergency cardiac services after waterford man's death

The Minister for Health has ordered a review of all emergency cardiac services around the country.

It follows on from the death in Waterford of a man who had to be transferred to Cork and didn't make it because the cathlab in Waterford operates only 9 to 5 weekdays. In answer to a question from Wexford Fianna Fail TD James Brown, Simon Harris said a national review will get underway immediately.
