An independent report into the death of a 60-year-old disabled man who died two weeks after being admitted to the controversial Leas Cross nursing home in north Co Dublin will be given to his family tomorrow.
Peter McKenna, who had Down syndrome and Alzheimer's disease, died in October 2000 some 13 days after he was transferred from St Michael's House, a disability service-provider in north Dublin, to the Leas Cross private nursing home near Swords.
Dan Moore, a brother of Mr McKenna, said yesterday that he got a call from the Health Service Executive to say the report would be delivered to his house this Wednesday.
The report into Mr McKenna's death was compiled by Martin Hynes, former head of the Irish Blood Transfusion Service, who also examined the appropriateness of the nursing home inspection process.
Leas Cross is now closed.
A spokesman for the HSE said last evening it was not clear when the report would be published but it would be given to Mr McKenna's family first.
