Only male midwife at CUMH dies suddenly

The only male midwife working at Cork University Maternity Hospital (CUMH), one of a handful nationally, has died suddenly.

Patrick White, who was in his mid-40s, was a well-known face on the labour ward at CUMH and further afield, having featured in From Here to Maternity, a fly-on-the-wall documentary on RTÉ in recent years.
