Maternity services at Portiuncula Hospital are under external review after a concerning number of neonatal complications, including cases of hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) and stillbirths. The HSE has appointed an external management team to oversee improvements and ensure patient safety.
In a landmark decision, the High Court ruled against the HSE Standard Operating Procedure for Assessments of Needs (AON), stating that a comprehensive assessment, including a diagnosis, is essential for determining a child’s needs.
Dianne Willmore, who passed from mesothelioma in 2009, won a landmark £240,000 case, holding Knowsley Borough Council liable for her asbestos exposure during school. Her case prompted legal and financial ramifications for local authorities nationwide, leading to increased awareness and changes in asbestos-related negligence proceedings.
