Childbirth death report altered after manager’s input

CHANGES were made to the internal report into the death during childbirth of Garda Tania McCabe and her baby at Our Lady of Lourdes hospital two years ago after the manager of the HSE’s acute hospitals in the North East said he had “issues” with “nuances” in it.

This is revealed in a letter from the manager, Stephen Mulvany, which was released to local radio station LMFM under the Freedom of Information Act.

In it says he has “issues with aspects of specific wording and nuances/emphasis in the text”.
