A nurse admitted to poor professional performance in the care of nine patients at Portlaoise hospital in 2022. The nurse, Jinimol George, failed to correctly calculate early warning scores for three patients, delaying their treatment. She also made errors in patient handovers and failed to administer prescribed medication. The inquiry arose from a complaint by the hospital's director of nursing. George has since been working for the Irish Prison Service without issue and has undertaken further training.
