This newspapers 'NHS On The Brink' series highlighted the pressures being placed on hospitals, GP services, paramedics and more as we come out of the pandemic.
The bereaved wife and children of a senior HSE manager, who died after a long illness a little over three weeks ago, have raised more than €61,000 in an online campaign in his memory.
John Linehan of Cullen and Millstreet passed away on January 16 and, due to COVID restrictions, attendance at his Funeral was limited.
His wife, Gillian, and children Jennifer, Harry, Hugh and Josh, decided they wanted to give something back to those who cared for their dad, during his illness, in Cork University Hospital and Marymount Hospice; and also give his friends, who couldn t attend his Funeral, an opportunity to pay their respects in a way that their Dad would have approved of.
