I wish to extend my sincere sympathy to the family involved in this tragic case. My Department has been advised by the Health Service Executive (HSE) that it is making arrangements for a full review of the circumstances surrounding the recent death of a mother and her baby at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda, to be carried out and that the coroner has also been notified.
