A Dublin mother, whose baby son died at birth in hospital, has accepted a settlement offer of £22,270 damages without admission of liability from the Coombe Hospital authorities. Ms Suzanne Garry, of Ashcroft, Raheny, had taken a medical negligence action against the hospital after her son died at birth.
The Circuit Court President, Mr Justice Smyth, said the total was made up of £2,270 for funeral expenses and £20,000 under the Civil Liability Act.
