Nayyab Tariq: Verdict of medical misadventure in inquest into death at Mayo hospital

Mayo University Hospital 'unreservedly apologised for any failings in care', issuing a statement through its legal representatives. It also apologised for failings in communication highlighted by the family of Nayyab Tariq.

A verdict of medical misadventure has been returned at the inquest into the death of a young woman at Mayo University Hospital, just four hours after she gave birth.

Coroner Patrick O’Connor today expressed hope that findings from a review of the tragedy by the Saolta hospital group would be “implemented”. This found delays in her care “may have contributed” to her death.
