The family of the woman who, in an advanced stage of labour, was refused admission to Monaghan General Hospital last week will seek a meeting with the Minister for Health, Mr Martin, today.
The Livingstone family say they want to speak to the Minister face to face and "get answers" as to why 32-year-old Ms Denise Livingstone was sent by Monaghan Hospital on a 25-mile ambulance journey on country roads to Cavan General Hospital in the middle of the night without a doctor or nurse when she was already in labour.
En route Ms Livingstone gave birth to a premature baby girl who died shortly after arriving at the Cavan hospital. Her transfer to Cavan was as a result of the suspension last year of maternity services at Monaghan.
Yesterday her father, Mr Jimmy Livingstone, said efforts would be made today to arrange a meeting with the Minister.
A spokeswoman for the Minister said last night he would be happy to meet the Livingstone family. The meeting is likely to take place this week.
Mr Martin has already said he found it "disturbing" that Ms Livingstone was not accompanied in the ambulance by a nurse or doctor.
The controversy surrounding the death of Bronagh Livingstone will also be raised at a meeting of the North Eastern Health Board tomorrow afternoon. Mr Livingstone will seek permission to attend and address the meeting.
He said he would be calling on the Minister to sack the executives of the North Eastern Health Board. "If they had any decency they would resign for their failures in relation to Monaghan Hospital," he said.
Furthermore, he said, he would point out to Mr Martin that it was a waste of resources having 11 health boards in a country the size of Ireland when there was just one in the greater Manchester area serving a larger population.
"He [MR MARTIN]is piling money into the health service, but where is it going? It's going to these pinstripe-suit boys in health boards.
"But the buck stops with him. He's the Minister, and I'll be calling on him to resign if he's not man enough to stand down the executives of that health board," he added.
The Minister has ordered a full report from the North Eastern Health Board on the circumstances surrounding the baby's death. It is expected this will be on his desk this week, and it will be evaluated by three independent experts.
Mr Livingstone said an inquiry was a waste of resources, given that the family already knew what had happened. "If the amount of money spent on all these inquiries was put into the health services we'd be better off," he said.
Bronagh Livingstone was born at 24 weeks but breathed unassisted and cried for up to half-an-hour before arriving at Cavan General Hospital. Mr Livingstone is convinced if she had got the care she needed she would have survived.
"The baby that's able to breathe on her own at six months is a strong baby. But she got no chance at all," he said.
No post-mortem was carried out before the baby was buried in Emyvale last Thursday.
The health board's spokeswoman said Mr Livingstone's request to attend its meeting tomorrow would be considered. She added that staff had worked through the weekend to compile its report for the Minister on what exactly had happened in Ms Livingstone's case.
