The family of the nine-year-old Cavan girl France Sheridan, who died after post- operative complications, have said they are concerned and angry that all the recommendations in a report into her death still have not been implemented fully.
Their solicitor, Patricia O'Reilly, said the family was concerned that a similar tragedy could happen again.
The Health Services Executive, North East, confirmed to RTÉ News that most of the 22 recommendations had been implemented.
However, the HSE acknowledged a number of recommendations on additional nurses and the development of the Accident & Emergency unit still had not been implemented fully.
Frances Sheridan had returned to Cavan General Hospital on 30 January 2004 vomiting and complaining of stomach pains. She had had her appendix removed three weeks earlier in the hospital.
Junior doctors in the A & E unit examined her. They said it was probably a tummy bug and sent her home. She died 36 hours later.
The then North Eastern Health Board undertook an investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death which led to the 22 recommendations.
In June of last year, the then CEO of the NEHB, Paul Robinson, said the board would implement the high priority recommendations within weeks and the remainder very quickly.
