Management at Cork University Maternity Hospital (CUMH) has accepted that families were badly let down by the decision to incinerate deceased babies' organs without the consent of their parents.

Families have described the absolute devastation of reading the findings of an investigation into the scandal that has revealed the babies were not, as they were previously told, incinerated in Belgium, but rather in Denmark.
