Six people facing disciplinary process in wake of Aoife Johnston's death at UHL

Bernard Gloster acknowledged the 'risk' of reoccurrence of issues at University Hospital Limerick's emergency department, emphasizing the need for safety improvements following Aoife’s tragic death.

The report by Mr Justice Frank Clarke indicated that Aoife's circumstances were 'almost certainly avoidable', stressing the necessity of addressing capacity issues at UHL to prevent future tragedies.

Gloster expressed deep regret for the systemic failures that led to Aoife's death, stating, 'We can never tire of saying we failed Aoife, we failed her badly.'

The Johnston family's solicitor highlighted their desire for accountability regarding failures in care at UHL, which contributed to the tragic loss of their daughter.
