HSE facing legal threat over cot death

A Polish couple who lost a baby due to cot death have threatened legal action against the HSE over delays in an ambulance getting to their home in Tralee, Co Kerry.

It took 45 minutes for an ambulance to reach the home of Sebastian and Katarzyan Chlamtacz, after one was sent to the Tennis Village in Cork instead of the Tennis Village in Tralee on June 18, 2013.

Efforts to resuscitate their three-week-old baby boy, Morfeusz, failed, according to a report in Kerry’s Eye newspaper.
