Vol. 380 No. 4

Written Answers. - Hospital Deaths.

166.

asked the Minister for Health if he has investigated the death of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 2 and her new born baby at two Dublin hospitals in March of this year; if his attention has been drawn to the allegation made by her family that she was left unattended for several hours, despite being in a distressed state; if he will make the results and any investigation available to the family of this person; whether there was any negligence on the part of Holles Street, Hospital, Dublin 2; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I understand that legal proceedings are contemplated in this case and it would be inappropriate for me to make a statement on the matter at this stage.
