TAOISEACH UNDER PRESSURE TO PUBLISH SAVITA REPORT FOLLOWING LEAKS

Date Published: 13-Feb-2013

The Taoiseach has come under pressure in the Dáil to publish the report into the death of Savita Halappanavar - following today's leaks in The Evening Herald.

Leaked extracts of a draft report by the investigation team - seen by The Evening Herald - say the blood infection that contributed to the 31-year-old's death went undiagnosed for three days at UHG.

31 year old Savita died at UHG on the 28th of October 2012, after suffering a miscarriage and contracting septicaemia.

Enda Kenny says the detail published in today's paper is not the final report, and the Halappanavar family should be the first to receive it.

But Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin said the report should be published and debated in the Dáil - now that it's been leaked.
