Dublin brother of sister 'let down by State' angry at no further review of her end-of-life care

A brother who claims his late sister was “let down by the State” is angry there’ll be no further review of the end-of-life care she received.

Dublin woman Elizabeth Canning was 59 when she died last May, following a long series of illnesses. She had curvature of the spine, spina bifida, epilepsy, and suffered a brain injury in 2013.

Her broken-hearted brother Con, 56, believes the health system could have done more for her and complained to the Taoiseach and Ireland East Hospital Group. But he has been told that the family cannot meet Liz’s consultant to discuss her treatment and there will be no further review of her care.
