Girl with cerebral palsy would not have suffered brain injury if delivered 10 minutes earlier, court hears

A girl with cerebral palsy would probably not have suffered any, or any severe, brain injury had she been delivered 10 minutes earlier, it has been claimed before the High Court.

Faye Walsh, now aged seven, has, through her mother Martina, of Letterfrack, Co Galway, sued the HSE and two consultant obstetricians alleging negligence and breach of agreement in relation to her birth at University Hospital Galway on August 15, 2011.
