A young Clare woman's family are "haunted" by the fear that her death, a day after suffering a miscarriage, could have been prevented if she had received sepsis medication faster, her inquest Wednesday heard.
Leona Cusack, (33), Ballycasey, Shannon, died at UHL on February 18, 2024, after she was transferred there by ambulance from University Maternity Hospital, Limerick (UMHL), as she was at risk of a heart attack.
A solicitor for Ms Cusack's family, Damien Tansey told the inquest, "It is haunting the family that there were clear indicators of sepsis and cardiac issues, but when she went to UHL, the sepsis was forgotten about".
"That's what led to her death. She wasn't treated properly," Mr Tansey told the inquest.
