The HSE is to send a letter of apology to the parents of a newborn baby who died at Cork University Maternity Hospital shortly after his birth.

An inquest into the death of Baby Kyle Dixon was told two weeks ago that failures were later admitted by CUMH at a meeting with the mother of Baby Kyle who was born on September 9, 2020, and pronounced dead about one hour and 18 minutes later.
