Reilly: ‘Hard-hitting report spares nobody’

The findings of the probe into Savita Halappanavar’s death provoked alarm across the political spectrum.

James Reilly, the health minister, described the HSE inquiry as “a hard-hitting report which spares nobody and doesn’t pull any punches”.

He said the probe had raised “serious concerns” and he was now referring the report to the Medical Council and the Nursing and Midwifery Board.
