‘I was angry after my pregnancy concerns weren’t listened to’

A couple whose daughter Mallaidh died at 34 weeks in the womb have accused the Southern Health Trust of a “cover up” after they discovered medical notes had been falsified.

Martina and Ryan Tierney said their concerns and calls for help were ignored for many hours before midwives confirmed there was no foetal heartbeat.

A report by the Northern Ireland Public Services Ombudsman (Nipso) into what happened at Craigavon Area Hospital Maternity Unit (CMU) in October 2021 found failings resulted in “catastrophic consequences for the patient and her daughter”.

The trust apologised for the “failings identified by the ombudsman” and offered its deepest condolences to the family for its devastating loss.
