A young boy left severely disabled after complications during his birth has been awarded £6 million in clinical negligence compensation.
According to Your Local Guardian, the unnamed six-year-old was left physically paralysed after mistakes made by medical professionals at Epsom Hospital in December 2004.
The child was delivered via a caesarean procedure after difficulties encountered during labour. However, because this decision was delayed by staff at the hospital, the child now sufferers from cerebral palsy.
With the help of legal representatives, the boy's mother launched legal action against Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust, and London's High Court has now ruled that a seven-figure sum, thought to be in the region of £6 million, for damages is appropriate.
