Halappanavar family ‘has no faith in HSE’ investigation into death

The solicitor for Savita Halappanavar’s husband says the HSE must have no involvement in the inquiry into his wife’s death.

Speaking before three Galway University Hospital doctors were taken off the HSE’s probe in an attempt to instil confidence in the team, Gerard O’Donnell said his client Praveen was insistent the HSE could not be trusted.

The solicitor repeated the family’s insistence they will not take part in any inquiry unless a fully independent team is set up.
