Health Minister meets Savita's husband
The Health Minister James Reilly has held a private meeting with the husband of Savita Halappanavar.
It took place at a Galway hotel, after contact between the Department of Health and Praveen Halappanavar's solicitor.
He is seeking an independent public inquiry into his wife's death.
Earlier today HIQA confirmed that it had also now launched an inquiry into the 31-year-old's death at University Hospital Galway last month.
The Health Information and Quality Authority has said it will publish the findings of its inquiry once it is completed.
Dr Reilly described HIQA's decision as a welcome development.
