The sixth day of the inquest into the death of Savita Halappanavar resumes at County Hall today.

Senior House Officer at the Obstetrics and Gynaecology unit in UHG Dr Ikechukwu Uzockwu (Dr.

IKE) and Midwife Manager Ann Maria Burke are both due to return as witnesses today.

They had previously given their statement evidence last week, however both have been recalled as they have given varying accounts of the time of a phone call and the content of that phone call.

A report on the post mortem is also due to be heard today as well as opinion evidence from an expert witness.

31 year old Savita died at UHG on the 28th of October 2012, after suffering a miscarriage and contracting septicaemia.

Praveen Halappanavar – who didn’t attend the hearing last Friday – is expected to be present today but his lawyers have said he will not sit through the pathology reports.
