Couple settles legal case against Ireland's HSE over false 21-week ultrasound; HSE admits duty breach.
A couple has settled a legal case against Ireland’s Health Service Executive (HSE) over a 21-week ultrasound that falsely reported their baby's condition as normal. The couple argued they would have terminated the pregnancy had they known about the rare congenital condition. The HSE admitted a breach of duty, and the settlement, reached through mediation, covers five years while keeping the family's identities and the child's condition confidential.
