The family of a woman who died giving birth in Cork last year have "grave reservations about the adequacy" of the post-mortem examination into her death, a coroner's court has heard.

Baiju Ouseph has asked for a wider scope than normal to be given to the inquest to examine his wife Stephy’s death at Cork University Maternity Hospital (CUMH) in June 2024.
