In the News: NHS to pay nearly £30 million due to negligence that left a baby with catastrophic life changing injuries
The family of a baby girl who suffered catastrophic brain injuries shortly after her birth has recently been awarded £29.3 million in compensation after Stockport NHS Foundation Trust admitted there were negligent delays in her treatment.
According to the family’s legal team, the Trust made a “series of negligent omissions” including a delay in performing surgery.
