Tánaiste doesn't believe politicians should override the judgement of staff managing maternity care

Leo Varadkar has said he doesn't believe politicians should over-ride the judgement of staff managing maternity care. The Tánaiste faced questions in the Dáil from a number of TDs arguing for partners to be allowed to accompany pregnant women at all stages. Leo Varadkar says he doesn't believe hospitals should ban partners from attending - but he won't overrule their judgement.
