A couple whose baby died three days after his birth at Mayo University Hospital has settled a case against the HSE.
The court was told the death of baby Cian Hunt followed two previous still births for the couple who claimed lessons should have been learned from the woman's obstetric history.Counsel for Breda and David Hunt told the court it was their case the baby's death could have been avoided if Ms Hunt's obstetric history had been properly recognised.
Ms Hunt told Mr Justice Paul Coffey in the High Court that her heart was broken beyond repair adding:"Our hope out of our very tragic circumstances is that no other family will ever have to live the nightmare we do." Over four years on from losing their"precious baby Cian, Our lives and the people we were prior to Cian are so very different", she said.
She said they were pleased that since Cian’s death, changes have been made in Mayo University Hospital.
