Family of policewoman who died after giving birth notified by Medical Council nine years later that evidence was insufficient; Health Bureau says independent judgment was made before decision

A 26-year-old policewoman died after giving birth at Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Her family was notified by the secretariat of the Medical Council early last month, nine years later, that the complaint had been concluded due to "insufficient evidence". The family had earlier written to the Secretary for Health, questioning why the complaints committee closed the case without referring to evidence from the coroner's inquest; the Health Bureau said it believed an independent judgment had been made in light of the coroner's findings before the decision.
