175 women qualify for compensation for the removal of:
uterus/ uterus and ovaries/ovaries.

The plan was announced by Ms Harney yesterday.

Younger women with less children effectively get more cash than
older women whose child-bearing years were at an end.

There is an application time for the victims of Dr Michael Neary.
You must receive independent certification that this indeed happened to you.

This is called- a deal.

1. The Hospital has never accepted responsibility for the harvesting of organs
from the women's bodies.
2. The Dept of Health has allowed for no indemnity or responsibility by the
Hospital which was a charitable organisation run by nunns. (surprised.
The Church /State indemnity issue and fiscal responsibility for wrong doing
is not the present governments strong point- ask Dr Michael Woods who
though at retirement age - managed to sign a child-abuse deal allowing the
RC church to pay only 10% of the abuse bill)
3.Dr Neary has never faced criminal charges (also familiar)
4. The other consultatnts who covered the mess up have not retired either.

So- The women will be paid- though nothing can compensate for what has
happened to their bodies . Their inability to conceive. The perpetrator of a
crime was allowed to get away. The state and insurance companies pick
up the tab. everyone goes home.

Not good enough- why are medical institutions ethically managed by
members of the RC church who have no medical expertise?

Why have no criminal charges been brought against a man who performed
unnecessary and agressive surgery on women's regenerative organs?

A hysterectomy is an incredibly traumatic experience for a woman.
No-one stopped neary from what he was doing- noone drew attention to
the issue.

The next government really has to look at the issue of medical advice.
second opinions. and who hid the files.

This government is a disgrace.
I am sorry that so many women went through such appalling trauma in relation
to the loss of their ability to have children.

In any other country within the EU this crime would be investigated but we as a
society have watched the man walk away from it and be rewarded as we have so many others.

Now- why is that?
