She said it was “regrettable” the intervention of the court probably could have been avoided if Ms K “had not misrepresented the facts as to her religion when booking into the Hospital and had not perpetuated the misrepresentation and compounded it by misrepresenting the position in relation to her family throughout her dealings with the Hospital.”
Ms K admitted she had falsely stated to the Coombe that she was a Roman Catholic and had done so previously during a visit to another hospital in the country.
she also lied about being married.

The woman, identified as Ms K, does not speak English and communicated with hospital staff in French. She is said to have been initially reluctant to name her husband as next of kin because of fears over the legality of his presence in the country. The hospital did not learn of his existence until he tried to gain access to the ward where his wife was being treated prior to the transfusion.
if she had said she was married they probably wouldnt have been so bothered about her child being left in a country with no relatives, and quite possibly she wouldnt have been made a ward of court in the first place.
