The parents of a baby who died in hospital from the Pseudomonas bacterium have called for a public inquiry into the outbreak.
Caoimhe Campbell and Gavin Burke's son Caolan was 10 days old when he died in Altnagelvin Hospital in Londonderry. It happened in December, weeks before three babies died from a different strain of the bacteria in Belfast.
"We want a public inquiry into this because it'll get at the truth," Ms Campbell said.
While the couple acknowledge their son, who was born 15 weeks prematurely, was very seriously ill, they said he was showing signs of improving, before his death on 14 December.
"He was bleeding in the brain and he had an infection in his lungs - chest infection - and he was coughing up blood. "Even with all that, he was doing all right - we were told he was coming off the breathing machine," Ms Campbell said. "He would still be here if it wasn't for the infection, even though he had the bleeding of the brain, they told us he would still pull through."
The couple were told their child had died of Pseudomonas by doctors who visited their home after Caolan 's death.
