Another delay for HSE probe into death

The HSE investigation team examining the tragic death of Savita Halappanavar is unlikely to be revealed until Monday due to last-minute changes and discussions.

The HSE confirmed last night that details of the vital inquiry group — which will include an independent external expert and was initially due to be announced on Wednesday — have been delayed again.

It is understood this is because of issues involving the time some proposed group members can give to the investigation, and the fact that Ms Halappanavar’s family in India must be consulted on its terms of reference.
