Grandfather of Monaghan baby to meet Martin today

The father of the pregnant woman whose baby died after being denied treatment in Monaghan Hospital is due to meet Health Minister Micheál Martin today.

Denise Livingstone's baby daughter died in Cavan Hospital last Wednesday morning after being born prematurely in an ambulance on the way from Monaghan.

Ms Livingstone was denied treatment in Monaghan because maternity services were removed from the hospital as part of the Government's centralisation plans.

Minister Martin has ordered a report into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
