The family of a young Waterford woman, awarded 8.4 million euro by the High Court, says the settlement is not "some kind of windfall".
Ms Justice, Bronagh O’Hanlon approved the settlement after 18-year-old Ciara Ormond, who has spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy, took a case against the HSE over the circumstances of her birth.
She was born in University Hospital Waterford, then Waterford Regional Hospital on November 5th 2000, and has a range of medical issues including Cerebral Palsy, scoliosis, double incontinence, and involuntary muscle spasms.
The settlement was made, with no admission of liability for Ciara's injuries.
