HSE Boss Pledges Talks With Harvey Morrison’s Family When They Are Ready

The head of the HSE says he'll meet with the family of Harvey Morrison Sherratt at a time of their choosing.

The health service is carrying out a review into the care of the nine-year-old boy who died last month after waiting years for spinal surgery.

CEO of the HSE, Bernard Gloster, says he wants to speak with Harvey's family, but they must be allowed the space to grieve first.
