A group campaigning for better maternity care in Ireland has called for an urgent review of maternity services at Midland Regional Hospital in Portlaoise.

The call from the Association for Improvements in Maternity Services (AIMS Ireland) follows two medical misadventure verdicts on deaths of babies in the hospital in under two years.
