Mother tells court child suffers seizures that can be life-threatening and has been hospitalised previously as a result
There was also an alleged failure to carry out a blood-sugar test in a proper and timely manner and an alleged failure to note that the baby’s symptoms were consistent with hypoglycaemia. It was further claimed that if the baby had the blood sugar test earlier than he did, it would have led to earlier intervention in his hypoglycaemic deterioration with a clinical course that might not have been so severe.
His senior counsel, Declan Doyle, said the parents wanted to deal with the matter in “a collaborative and non-contentious way” with the co-operation of the defendant. Proceedings were issued this year to facilitate the settlement, which includes an interim payment for the next six years. The settlement was reached after mediation, he said.
The case will next come back before the court in 2029 when the boy’s future care needs will be assessed.He said a breach of duty was admitted and there was a partial admission in relation to causation. Counsel said the defendant had contended some of the seizures may be linked to an unspecified genetic connection which counsel said"was rubbished “by their own experts. Counsel also said that position had caused great anger to the parents.The boy’s mother told the judge “it should never have happened to our child” and she said she did not know what her son’s future will be. She said they had gone down every avenue to help their child.
