An independent external review is being ordered by the HSE in to the case of a couple who terminated their pregnancy over six years ago after being wrongly advised the unborn baby had a fatal foetal abnormality.

HSE chief Bernard Gloster said today he had recently met with the unborn baby’s parents Rebecca and Pat Kiely and provided them with a full apology on behalf of the health service following the loss of their baby Christopher in 2019.
