Make-up of investigation team to be announced today

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

The Irish Examiner has learned that the specialist panel, and the obstetrician who has been appointed to lessen concerns of a lack of transparency, will be made public this afternoon.

Sources said last night that the list of officials who have agreed to take part was close to finalisation.
