A Feakle woman has hit out at the health system following an incident in which her father's surgery was cancelled four times in quick succession.
Carol's father suffered a hand injury and after first been taken by ambulance University Hospital Limerick, was transferred to University Hospital Galway for specialist plastic surgery.
However, over course of 9 days he was prepped for surgery five times, with the operation being cancelled at the last minute on four occasions.
Carol has told Clare FM's Morning Focus she cannot understand why her father was brought to UHL before Galway, and also believes his stay in hospital was longer than necessary.
