Dossier of concerns about treatment of service users of Mayo charity sent to health watchdog

The Health Information and Quality Authority (Hiqa) said it has received ‘information of concern’ regarding Western Care.

A file compiled by Sinn Féin TD Rose Conway-Walsh contains claims that staff have witnessed 'verbal and emotional abuse' of vulnerable service users.
