Parents still waiting for answers from HSE after baby son’s death

The parents of a baby who died six days after his birth said they are still waiting for answers from the HSE.

Kevin James Kelly was born by caesarean section after a failed forceps delivery at Midlands Regional Hospital on August 16, 2014. Dublin Coroner’s Court heard he died of brain damage due to lack of oxygen, which happened around the time of birth.

Coroner Brian Farrell returned a verdict of death by medical misadventure at an inquest into the baby’s death. Parents Una and Kevin Kelly said they feel vindicated by the outcome.
