If your relative is elderly, did they provide a mobile number so they could receive a text message. Do they have a mobile. Did they provide adequate contact information. Did they contact their GP to look up their result. Maybe you should help them navigate the proper avenues for contacting the HSE before bitching on Boards.

Aoife's cystic fibrosis is labelled as "stable" and not "severe". She says she will be remaining in Cohort 7, and not moving up to Cohort 4. "I feel quite hopeless," she said. "There was a lot of hype that there was going to be some good news released, and I really did feel of a blanket release of positive news for vulnerable individuals and it's not. "It's just an extremely disappointing time," she said. Aoife is now part of the Vaccine4Vulnerable campaign, aimed at what they say is the inequality in vaccine distribution among the vulnerable in Ireland.

Therefore, the idea of one case of CF being less serious than another doesn't make sense. Does Ireland have an especially high proportionate number of CF sufferers?
