A mother whose baby's organs were incinerated by Cork University Hospital says families won't rest until the human tissues bill is enacted
Leona Bermingham’s family received a copy of the external review into the scandal earlier today following a long wait for answers about what happened to their son Lee's brain.
The report says the Post Mortem Room Team sent the organs of 18 babies for incineration during the first wave of the pandemic- at a time the review team say hospitals nationwide were preparing to significantly increase their mortuary capacity for mass fatalities.
