Susie Long Hospice Fund
There can't be a person in Ireland who hasn't heard something about Susie Long. Susie was on a waiting list for seven months for a medical procedure to diagnose bowel cancer. The man beside her in the waiting room just waited three days. She was a public patient. He was a private patient. It is possible that this seven months delay was what cost Susie her life. Susie spent her final weeks in the hospice in Harolds Cross. Because she was from Kilkenny her family had to move to Dublin while she spent her days in Harolds Cross so they could all be close by. One of Susie's last wishes was to see hospice care available in Kilkenny. Susie died on Friday evening 12th October 2007. Her friends have set up a foundation/ charity to start funding for a hospice in Kilkenny.
