4-year-old Conor Naughton settled a High Court action against Ireland's Health Service Executive (HSE) for €87,500 after alleging a failure to diagnose his acute appendicitis at Wexford General Hospital led to a 24-hour delay in surgery. The family had to pay for a private ambulance to transport Conor to Dublin for surgery when no ambulance was available in Wexford. The case involved a series of misdiagnoses, with one hospital section diagnosing gastroenteritis and another wanting the child transferred to Dublin for surgery.
