HEALTH MINISTER STANDS FIRM DESPITE CALLS FOR PUBLIC INQUIRY INTO SAVITA CASE AT UHG

Date Published: 26-Nov-2012

The Health Minister says he won't be rushed into decisions in the wake of the Savita Halappanavar case.

31 year old Savita died at UHG last month of blood poisoning following a miscarriage.

Her family claim she was refused a termination of her pregnancy, and are pursuing a public inquiry into her death.

Her widower Praveen's solicitor says he expects a response from James Reilly by Thursday on requests made about a public inquiry.

But Minister Reilly says he must let the two inquiries underway take their course
