Widower plans medical negligence case

Savita Halappanavar’s grieving family is set to take a medical negligence case against the State in response to her tragic death.

Praveen Halappanavar’s solicitor Gerard O’Donnell told the Irish Examiner the move is being actively considered in the aftermath of the report into the scandal.

Mr O’Donnell said the HSE clinical review was in-depth and underlined how Mr Halappanavar was right to raise concerns about his wife’s treatment at Galway University Hospital.
