The case was taken to the High Court in London
The family of an eight-year-old boy has been awarded £20 million in compensation after he was left with brain damage.
This should have prompted medical staff to deliver him within 12 minutes to avoid significant injuries as a result of oxygen deprivation, however, he was not delivered until 39 minutes after warning signs of distress were present. “We were not given any information other than he was poorly and he had to be moved to the hospital in Liverpool where he remained for a few weeks.”
“We stayed by his side for the next three to four weeks and at one point, we were told it was unlikely that he would survive. He did survive and had to be transferred back to Ormskirk. I remember the doctor who was in charge of his delivery shaking my hand as if congratulating me that our son had survived at all.
“Under these circumstances, it becomes an emergency, and he should have been delivered quickly – within 12 minutes of signs of distress being present to avoid permanent injury. This did not happen, however, and he had a slowed heart rate for 39 minutes leading to a lack of oxygen for a prolonged period.
