HSE to commission second review into baby’s death

The HSE is in the process of commissioning a second review into the death two years ago of a baby boy at Cavan General Hospital.

Jamie Flynn of Tara Court Square, Navan, in Co Meath, was born shortly before midnight on November 22, 2012, in very poor condition. He was transferred to the Rotunda Hospital where he died in his mother’s arms two days later.

An inquest into his death in June this year heard allegations from consultant obstetrician Dr Salah Abdel-Aziz that he had delayed an emergency caesarean section due to the unavailability of nursing staff for the operating theatre at the time.
