A six-year-old boy who sued over the circumstances of his birth at Mayo University Hospital has settled his High Court action for €7 million. The HSE had disputed if the boy suffered the stroke because of hypoxia ischemia and the settlement was reached after mediation. Through his mother, the boy sued the HSE over the circumstances of his birth in 2013. It is claimed that a congenital abnormality was suspected, leading to an inappropriate plan to transfer the mother to Dublin. The boy’s father told the court the family were glad the case had come to an end.
