Medical supervision urged to prevent risk to patients

The Government is being asked to take steps to prevent the risk of other mothers losing their lives as Sally Rowlette did the day after she gave birth to her fourth child.

Fianna Fáil health spokesman in the Senate, Marc MacSharry, wants Health Minister Leo Varadkar to ensure medics at the centre of medical negligence allegations are supervised by more senior personnel if they continue to work in the HSE.

Mr MacSharry intends to raise the matter in the Senate tomorrow.
