A doctor who treated a mother who died hours after giving birth says she would have brought her to hospital two weeks earlier had she been her patient.

Dr Heather Langan was speaking at the inquest into the death of Sally Rowlette at Sligo courthouse.

The 36 year old died after giving birth to her fourth child at Sligo Regional Hospital in February 2013.
