When the case was received by HSE, it was assessed using the Investigation Procedure and Toolkit under the HSE established National Incident Management Protocol. The level of the investigation was decided by reference to the National Incident Protocol in light of the information on the case received by HSE. The case has therefore been investigated under that protocol by the HSE. Factors that contributed to this maternal death were identified in this review. To address these contributory factors and to prevent future harm arising from them 11 actions were recommended. The hospital has indicated that 8 of the 11 recommendations have been implemented. Work on the outstanding 3 recommendations is in progress and due for completion shortly.
