Bereaved parents call for cultural shift in HSE management

Lorraine and Warren Reilly, who lost two baby girls in two years at Portiuncula University Hospital, have called for a “cultural shift” right up to the highest levels of management in the HSE.

Mr Reilly said every small maternity unit should examine the independent review of maternity services at Portiuncula Hospital and ensure there is no need for another one in the future.

“It is not just about Portiuncula Hospital, it is about all the small maternity units through Ireland; they all need a root and branch review,” he said.
