Committee on Public Petitions

Public Petition on Lil Reds Legacy Sepsis Awareness Campaign: Mr. Joseph Hughes and Irish Sepsis Foundation

Ms Doireann O'Mahony:

I thank everybody. Before Christmas, we marked the tenth anniversary of the death of Savita Halappanavar. That made headlines around the world for all the wrong reasons. We should not forget that sepsis was a feature in her death. It was only after her death in 2012 that the HSE established its national clinical programme on sepsis.

We are immensely grateful to members for their time and their kind words. We know that meaningful change will happen and, for that, we extend our thanks and thanks on behalf of the others from the federation who are not here.
