Medical consultants’ claims were ‘wildly inaccurate’

I REFER to your excellent feature article (Irish Examiner July, 18 on the problems that arise when trying to devise a fair and equitable system of compensating babies and their families injured due to negligence at birth.

Medical consultants’ claims were ‘wildly inaccurate’

As a lawyer who over the last 20 years has represented families who have found themselves in the most appalling and tragic situations as a result of their child being gravely brain-damaged due to inadequate maternity/obstetric care, I must express my dismay at the comments that were attributed to the two eminent medical consultants quoted in your feature article.

The attempts by these consultants to blame families for taking legal action when their child has been so gravely injured is totally unworthy.
