Staff midwife Miriam Dunleavey stuns inquest saying, entries in the nursing/medical notes ‘were put in by the internal inquiry’.
— Fergal Bowers (@FergalBowers) April 9, 2013
Some background:
The seven-member HSE internal inquiry team was led by Prof Sabraratnam Arulkumaran, head of obstetrics and gynaecology at St George’s University of London.
Three members of the original inquiry team were from Galway University Hospital, with the final three being an employee from Cork University Hospital,a patient advocate and a representative from the HSE National Incident Management Team.
After Savita’s husband Praveen Halappavanar complained about the presence of three employees from the Galway hospital, the HSE replaced them.
The three were replaced with Professor James Walker, of St James Hospital in Leeds, Dr Brian Marsh, of the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital and Professor Mary Horgan, of Cork University Hospital.

The midwife notes in #Savita case inserted a bracket only

The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland has today launched its Code of Fairness in News and Current Affairs.
This follows a draft form of the code in February of last year.
The draft proposed that presenters, such as Anton Savage (above), who is a director of the Communications Clinic and a presenter on Today FM, be required to declare conflicts of interest.
Today’s code shows this requirement has been dropped.
Why?
The BAI explains:
“Conflicts of Interest: The proposal contained in the draft code, which would have required each broadcaster to maintain a public register of interest – in which personnel with an editorial role in news / current affairs would be required to enter details of financial / commercial relationships that might be perceived as representing a material influence on them – is not being proceeded with. This decision has been taken in the light of concerns raised in the consultation process which were discussed with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner and were subject to legal review. The matter of possible legislative change to enable the future establishment of a public register of interest will be pursued with the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources.
The final code includes a more general rule for the management of conflicts of interest, incorporating a general principle of avoiding conflicts of interest. In instances where conflicts of interest arise, there will be a duty that relevant individuals and the public are made aware of such conflicts, as appropriate. Broadcasters will be required to determine whether the interest concerned is of such extent as would warrant the withdrawal of any person from further involvement in the programme or item.”
