Family suggest baby's death highlights 'dichotomy of consultant-led care' between public and private patients

A verdict of medical misadventure into the death of a baby girl following an attempt to perform a vacuum delivery due to her mother’s labour slowing has been returned by an inquest.

Baby Livia Angel Urkova-Marini was the only daughter of parents Ludmila Ukova and Aldo Marini, from Carlow town. She was born at 12.04pm in St Luke’s Hospital in Kilkenny on May 18, 2014, and died at 7pm that evening.
