Health Minister James Reilly has confirmed that the HSE will provide a copy of the report into the death of Savita Halappanavar to her husband, Praveen, tomorrow.

Minister Reilly said today that the report would be furnished to Mr Halappanavar tomorrow by a senior figure in the HSE.

Mr Halappanavar would be allowed time to examine the report and would be invited to meet with the chairman of the HSE inquiry, Dr Sabaratnam Arulkumaran, the Minister said.

Savita's husband would be free to make any observations that he might wish to make that could be incorporated into the report.

The Minister stressed that the report to be presented to Praveen Halappanavar tomorrow was the final draft version and was not the final report itself, as Mr Halappanavar would be given the opportunity to make any adjustments to the draft as necessary.

Dr Reilly said following this, the final report would be brought to Cabinet before it could be published. He said he had not yet seen the report.

Savita Halappanavar was 17 weeks pregnant and was miscarrying when she attended University Hospital Galway on October 21 - she died a week later from a serious infection. She had reportedly been refused a termination, despite being seriously ill.

A previously leaked draft of the report indicated Ms Halappanavar's request for a termination should have been considered a number of days before she died following a miscarriage.

However, staff reportedly indicated that they could not carry out a termination as their 'hands were tied' legally on the matter.

The draft HSE report, seen by the Evening Herald, said the serious infection which led to Savita's death was not diagnosed for three days.

Indications are the final report is likely to substantially confirm Praveen Halappanavar's account of the circumstances leading to his wife's death, including the reason why a termination was refused.

The draft report also pointed to serious procedural and resource deficits relating to how Savita was treated at the Galway hospital.

Praveen Halappanavar refused to cooperate with the HSE inquiry, and with an inquiry by the health safety body HIQA, which is still being carried out.
