Father of baby born after miscarriage diagnosis says review delay ‘a scandal’

THE father of a toddler whose mother was wrongly told she miscarried him has described delays into a long-standing national review as “an absolute scandal”.

Michael Redmond was speaking after the Irish Examiner revealed an independent review into the crisis has uncovered up to 24 potential cases of miscarriage misdiagnoses.

The review began last June after the father-of-three and his wife Melissa, from Donabate in north Dublin, confirmed staff at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda wrongly told them the pregnancy had not reached full term.
