HSE Chief Executive Bernard Gloster confirmed this morning cases under review have risen to 12.
Staff at a Midlands maternity hospital are being scapegoated by the HSE.
The accusation is coming from Fianna Fail TD and GP Martin Daly as the Head of the health service appears before the Oireachtas Committee on Health today.
The HSE Chief Executive confirmed this morning the number of cases of care currently under review at Portiuncula Hospital has risen to 12, following another case of an infant who suffered a loss of blood or oxygen to the brain and a stillbirth.
Women with complex pregnancies are to be transferred to University Hospital Galway from next month - despite local opposition.
Deputy Daly says scapegoating staff and downgrading the unit are not the answer:
