A man whose sister died after years of excruciating pain has said the health system let her down.
Elizabeth Canning, who was 59, passed away in May at her Dublin home. She had spine curvature, spina bifida, epilepsy and had suffered a brain injury.
Her ailments left her in acute discomfort which Chronic Pain Ireland says affects up to 36% of the population. Her brother Con, 56, said wheelchair-user Liz needed constant “hospital care” but gaps in service left her “living in chronic, horrendous pain”.
