Care plan for mother was ‘not clear’

The care plan for a mother whose baby boy died less than two days after his birth was “not clear”, an inquiry heard yesterday.

Consultant obstetrician Dr Salah Aziz Ahmed faces allegations at a Medical Council Fitness to Practise Inquiry of poor professional performance and professional misconduct relating to three women who gave birth at Cavan General Hospital between November 2012 and April 2014.

The inquiry has heard details involving one of the patients, a 37-year-old woman, referred to as Patient One, whose baby boy passed away 32 hours after he was born on the night of November 22, 2012.
