Over 25 years after two babies were given to the wrong parents, the Treasury has paid out more than zł.2 ($0.6) million to the respective families.

In a case that has lasted 10 years, the court has decided that hospital staff were at fault when they gave two month-old baby girls to the wrong parents.

In 1984, three girls were taken to a hospital in Warsaw suffering from pneumonia. Two of the girls were twins, while the third was from a second family. When they were released, one of the families took back home mismatched daughters, while the second took one of the twins.

The girls only discovered the mix-up when they were 17. (RG)
