Grace Orchard, of Carrigaline, Co. Cork, leaving court in February during the opening day of a High Court action for damages. Photograph: Collins Courts A child with cerebral palsy has secured 5.8 million under a settlement of her High Court action against the HSE over the handling and management of her birth at a Cork city hospital. The settlement was reached after a 12 day hearing to assess damages. Ms Justice Mary Irvine was previously told liability in eight-year-old Grace Orchards case was conceded last January, some three years after the case was initiated. The judge said she regretted it had taken three years for the HSE to say it was culpable as that seemed an extraordinary length of time. Dr John OMahony SC, for the child, said a letter of apology had been tendered to the family on the second day of the hearing. Counsel read the letter from Cork University Hospital CEO Tony McNamara in which he unreservedly apologised on behalf of the HSE to Grace and her family for the injuries suffered during the childs delivery at St Finbarrs Hospital in February 2006. The treatment did not reach our high standard on this occasion, he said. Grace, … Continue reading →

According to her mother Lennah had 6 major surgeries, spending 4 months in the hospital. She suffered a stroke during one of those surgeries which left her with cerebral palsy. Now, she is unable to eat or control her limbs. The bubbly toddler is undergoing therapy to improve her motor skills, but her parents are hoping a new stem cell treatment will be even more effective.

Dubai: Joseph Stephen, 8, can neither talk nor walk normally. Like his brother Ashwin, two years younger, he suffers from cerebral palsy. To make matters worse, Stephens hip is also dislocated. But his parents cannot afford to pay for his treatment. With two special needs children, Stephens mother Jenny said: We desperately want to get our son operated, but cannot raise the money. My husband is the only earning member in the family and we are already spending a substantial amount of money on sending the boys to a special school. She said Stephen, who is wheelchair bound, was born with a dislocated hip, but it was only discovered recently. He could manage a few steps on his own but now even this limited movement is affected. When we took him to the doctor, we were told he urgently needed surgery to put his hip back in the socket and to straighten the muscles in his leg. Jenny said a Dubai-based orthopaedic pediatric surgeon has recommended that Stephen undergoes surgery to maintain his mobility and avoid further deformities. She said she cannot work to supplement the family income as she cannot leave her two special needs sons alone. Please help … Continue reading →
