Overview
- A formal, unreserved apology for failures in care was read in the High Court on behalf of Midland Regional Hospital Mullingar.
- The HSE admitted liability as five actions by Bryonny Sainsbury’s parents and brothers over her death and psychological injury were settled.
- An inquest in 2024 returned a verdict of medical misadventure, and an independent Systems Analysis Review identified ten failures with 15 recommendations.
- Hospital management said it accepted the review’s findings in full and that a dedicated quality improvement team has completed implementation of all measures.
- Family and counsel described a three‑day delay in transfer and ignored concerns, asserting an earlier move to Beaumont Hospital could have changed the outcome.
