The Health Minister says he'd welcome the addition of more families' cases into the review of maternity services at Galway's Portiuncula Hospital.

The review was ordered by Saolta Group - which runs the facility in Ballinasloe - following the deaths of two babies and the oxygen deprivation suffered by five more.

In an interview in this morning's Irish Independent, Galway couple Warren and Lorraine Reilly - who lost babies Asha and Amber in the hospital in 2008 and 2010 - asked to meet Leo Varadkar.

The Minister says he'd be open to their cases being heard by the review.
