HSE apologies: Advocates call for 'change of culture' to stop long court battles for families
Solicitors said the HSE’s actions on numerous medical negligence cases harm the ‘healing process’ for families.
Medical negligence solicitors claim that the HSE's strategy on cases remains "deny and defend".
One solicitor summarised the approach as "you deal with it when you have to deal with it".
The HSE says its open disclosure policy reflects the primacy of the rights of patients.
