Stephen Donnelly says there are ‘worries’ over probe into baby head injuries at hospital 

'A small number' of babies suffered a head injury while being delivered at University Hospital Galway.

Health Minister Stephen Donnelly said there were “worries” for the development of some babies, who suffered a head injury while being delivered at University Hospital Galway (UHG).

He added UHG was correct to launch a review into the incidents after the Saolta University Health Care Group, of which UHG is part of, said the hospital was "currently undertaking a review of cases of subgaleal haemorrhage" which occurred last year.
