Apology for the death of a young woman from Sligo.
Leithscéal gafa faoi bhás mná óige as Sligeach.
The Health Service Executive has apologized to the family of Lisa Niland, a young Sligo woman who died almost four years ago, for the delay in a brain scan.
Tá leithscéal gafa ag Feidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte le muintir Lisa Niland, bean óg as Sligeach a bhásaigh beagnach ceithre bliana ó shin, faoin moill scanadh inchinne a dhéanamh uirthi.
A 19-year-old university student, Lisa Niland, died of a brain injury three days after falling ill in a restaurant in Sligo in January 2017.
De bharr sceitheadh fola san inchinn a bhásaigh Lisa Niland, mac léinn ollscoile 19 bliain, trí lá tar éis di éirí tinn i mbialann i Sligeach i mí Eanáir na bliana 2017.
She was taken to Sligo University Hospital but did not have a brain scan until the following morning.
Tugadh í go hOspidéal Ollscoile Shligigh ach ní dhearnadh scanadh inchinne uirthi go dtí an mhaidin dar gcionn.
The scan showed Lisa was bleeding in the brain.
Léirigh an scanadh go raibh Lisa ag cur fola san inchinn.
She was transferred to Beaumont Hospital where she was stabbed, but doctors were unable to rescue her.
Aistríodh go hOspidéal Beaumont í mar ar cuireadh faoi scian í, ach níor éirigh leis na dochtúirí í a thabhairt slán.
Niland’s family claim that Lisa could still be alive if she had an emergency scan the night she was taken to hospital in Sligo.
Maíonn muintir Niland go bhféadfadh Lisa a bheith ina beatha i gcónaí dá ndéanfaí scanadh éigeandála uirthi an oíche ar tugadh chun an ospidéil i Sligeach í.
They say a radiographer was not called that night for fear it would disrupt staffing levels at the hospital the next day.
Deir siad nár cuireadh fios ar radagrafaí an oíche sin ar eagla go gcuirfeadh sé as do leibhéil foirne san ospidéal an lá dar gcionn.
The High Court granted a compensation settlement to the Niland family but did not announce the amount of money involved.
Cheadaigh an Ard-Chúirt socrú cúitimh do mhuintir Niland ach níor fógraíodh cén méid airgid atá i gceist.
In court today, both the Health Service Executive and Sligo University Hospital apologized to the Niland family over Lisa ‘s death.
Sa chúirt inniu, ghabh Feidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte agus Ospidéal Ollscoile Shligigh araon a leithscéal le muintir Niland faoi bhás Lisa.
