A baby who died shortly after birth in Cork University Maternity Hospital (CUMH) did not receive blood for some 22 minutes despite being born very anaemic and acutely unwell, an inquest has heard.

Concerns were also raised that when an emergency call was made for help resuscitating baby Tom Luke Moynihan, the consultant on call did not receive that first emergency call for help.
