Savita care staff still being investigated three years on

Complaints against staff involved in the care of Savita Halappanavar are still being investigated by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI) — almost three years after her death at Galway University Hospital.

Ms Halappanavar died of septicaemia following a miscarriage in October 2012, a week after being admitted to hospital at 17 weeks pregnant. Two reports and an inquest found major failings in her care.

Yesterday, the NMBI confirmed that a process is still ongoing in relation to complaints against staff involved in the care of Ms Halappanavar.
