No more baby mix-ups, vows CEO

THERE will be no further mix-ups of new born babies, the chief executive of the country’s largest health board vowed yesterday.

The Southern Health Board chief executive Sean Hurley made the promise yesterday to parents attending all hospitals under his control in response to two mix-ups of newborns in recent months at Cork and Kerry hospitals.

Mr Hurley pledged that new procedures would be put in place by next weekend to ensure there were no further mistakes.
