INO urge Martin to fully implement Bonner report

Members of the Irish Nurses Organisation at Monaghan General Hospital have urged the Minister for Health Micheál Martin to implement fully the Bonner report on maternity services at the hospital.

The union said the death of baby Bronagh Livingstone could happen again tomorrow, claiming many infants are still being born before they arrive at hospitals in Cavan or Drogheda.

The study was commissioned after the death of baby Bronagh, who died after her mother was forced to give birth en route to Cavan because of a lack of services at Monaghan Hospital.
