However, all families deserve equal measure of recompense.

Three children have secured a €3.6 million settlement from the HSE over damages linked to the use of #Valproate during pregnancy. Update from @griffinniamh stories on Insta https://t.co/g2lpVPijMl
Thousands of children were born into avoidable harm because the system chose silence over honesty with sodium valproate.
Now the gov't must choose justice over delay.
#Valproate
It is "disgraceful" the Government has failed to respond to recommendations made more than two years ago to compensate victims of a medical #scandal that left thousands of babies #disabled, England's first Patient Safety Commissioner has said.

'Fruitless anxiety' seriously? A child born with lifelong disabilities is better than disclosing epilim side effects! Enough to give mum endless lifelong anxiety
@BernardGloster@CcoHse@CHI_Ireland@roinnslainte
A significant & alarming discrepancy exists between the thousands of babies exposed to #valproate between 1975 & 2015 & the remarkably low number of Fetal Valproate Spectrum Disorder (#FVSD) diagnoses identified since 2019.
@AsIAmIreland You need to acknowledge the 'misinformation' in your statement. my kids autism was not natural but caused by a drug called epilim that doctors knew about for decades
@oacsireland@roinnslainte Saw this at the gp surgery, my son wasn't impressed when I told him it's called epilim in Ireland and the tablets are purple, not white
