The HSE has said it is in the process of appointing an independent expert to oversee the work of its inquiry into the death of Savita Halappanavar in Galway last month.

The make-up of the HSE’s investigation team probing Savita Halappanavar’s death, including its independent expert, will be announced today.

The HSE national incident management team has confirmed it will interview Praveen Halappanavar as part of its review into his wife Savita's death.

The Government is again being urged to legislate for the X-Case, after it emerged a woman in Galway died from septicaemia after suffering a miscarriage.
