A nine-year-old girl was granted permission to sue the HSE over home support at the High Court on 4 November 2019.

The child, who has severe intellectual disability and various medical conditions, sought an order requiring the HSE to consider and determine her application for a support package.

The application was made in May 2018, but no determination had been made when the matter was before the court. She is also seeking damages, and the case was returned to later in November.
