The Nolan Show this morning reveals that families of Dunmurry Manor Care Home are demanding to be given a place on an oversight group of the Independent Review into how elderly people were historically neglected at Dunmurry Manor Care Home. The Department of Health set up what they described as an Independent Review after the Older Person's Commissioner, Eddie Lynch, wrote a damning report into how some of our most vulnerable citizens were historically treated in Dunmurry Manor. The Department also set up an "oversight group " and they - and others - were given the power - to help "focus the review on the key issues". No family members are on the oversight group, no politicians, no lay people. Stephen spoke to Julieann McNally, her grandmother was neglected in Dunmurry Manor, Sinn Fein MLA Colm Gildernew, SDLP Cllr Brian Heading .
