A 19-year-old man who sued over the circumstances of his birth at Limerick Regional Maternity Hospital has settled his High Court action with a €1.5 million interim payout.
Counsel said breach of duty was admitted by the HSE in the case but causation remained at issue. The interim settlement is for the next five years, after which point the man’s future care needs will be assessed. It was claimed that the baby should have been delivered earlier by caesarean section and that the second stage of delivery lasted 42 minutes, which it was claimed was allegedly excessive and should have been reduced by instrumental delivery.
It was also accepted the baby suffered from hypocarbia for a period of about six hours, as well as a period of mild hyponatremia - which refers to sodium levels in the blood - and that attempted cooling provided was not to appropriate standards.
