Savita’s husband faces week-long wait before seeing report

Savita Halappanavar’s husband will not receive the report into her death for at least another week — despite draft findings being leaked.

Praveen Halappanavar wrote to Health Minister James Reilly yesterday demanding access to the final draft document which outlines what happened at Galway University Hospital in October.

However, Dr Reilly said he could not make a copy available as he did not have one himself. He is due to receive a copy of the final report within the next 10 days.
