Dr. Agnes Lunny OBE, Chief Executive of Positive Futures, has spoken of the deep disappointment and distress caused by further delays to the long-awaited inquiry report:
“Families affected by the events at Muckamore Abbey Hospital deserve clarity, accountability and the opportunity to move forward.”
“This is a difficult and sad time for families. They need a sense of closure and of justice. They had been expecting the report at the end of last year and then in March this year and now must deal with further delay.
“Each postponement compounds the trauma for families, who continue to relive what happened at Muckamore and during the inquiry process. It has been going on for far too long.
“At Positive Futures, we stand alongside families in calling for the timely publication of the report and its long-awaited recommendations. This is essential, not only for a sense of justice for those affected, but to ensure lessons are learned and real change is delivered.”
