A senior midwife has said she is 100% certain she told a doctor about the elevated pulse rate of Savita Halapannavar, who died after she suffered a miscarriage at University Hospital Galway.

Crucial evidence from the midwife who cared for Indian dentist Savita Halappanavar as she fell critically ill will not be given to her inquest, it has been confirmed.

A blood test that would have spotted Savita Halappanavar’s fatal sepsis infection was not processed the morning she miscarried, it was confirmed.
