€1.7m for baby who defies the odds
Jack Hegarty was being breastfed after his delivery when he suffered a collapse but the High Court heard the baby’s condition was not monitored as staff cared for his mother.
A midwife was required to hold faulty lighting in place as a suturing procedure was carried out on Jack’s mother, and the court also heard a faulty mechanism in the bed and a malfunctioning stirrup holding the mother’s leg meant a delay occurred in the procedure carried out on the mother.
