The HSE has secured High Court orders allowing doctors at a maternity hospital to deliver by Caesarean section the child of a pregnant woman who is currently remanded in custody.
The High Court made the order after lawyers for the HSE said that the woman, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, suffers from a mental health illness and lacks the capacity to make decisions regarding her own and her unborn infant’s health.
