Lawyers for Rachel Barry, who has spastic cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair, told the High Court that her brain injury could have been avoided if there had been proper vigilance and care of her mother.The court heard Ms Finola Barry was admitted to Midlands Regional Hospital on 4 April 1997 when her pregnancy was at 30 weeks and two days.
In the High Court action, it was claimed that because the membrane had ruptured it meant there was a risk of infection, but a decision was made not to deliver the baby until 14 April,1997. It was also alleged there was a failure to show appropriate vigilance for chorioamnionitis, a condition in pregnancy where the membrane around the foetus can get infected.
