«Breaking News» NHS Trust to pay £12million to girl who was starved of oxygen at birth

A hospital trust has been ordered to pay £12million compensation after it failed to spot danger signs that left a baby severely disabled.

The girl's delivery at Darent Valley Hospital in Dartford, Kent, in 2010 was delayed and she was starved of oxygen, which led to her severe disabilities.

Her family's lawyers sued Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust which admitted liability and apologised for the unacceptable standard of care. 

The girl's delivery was delayed and she was starved of oxygen at this hospital, resulting in severe disabilities 

At the High Court in London, Mr Justice Martin Spencer said the eight-year-old girl's payout was expected to be worth about £12million over her lifetime.

She will receive £3.7million upfront and get tax-free annual payments to cover the costs of her care for life.

The payments for the girl will start at £280,000 a year, before rising to £297,500 a year in 2028 and to £330,000 a year in 2029. 

NHS counsel Michael Horne QC said that liability for the child's injuries was admitted at an early stage and the Trust's chief executive had apologised.

Mr Horne added: 'The Trust apologises unreservedly that the care provided fell below an acceptable standard and caused this tragedy.'

He paid tribute to the girl's parents and wider family for the 'dedicated and unstinting care' they had given her. 

Approving the settlement, Mr Justice Spencer described the girl's disabilities as 'profound'.

Her vision is severely impaired, she suffers from epilepsy, has to be fed through a tube and has no independent mobility.

Mr Justice Spencer added: 'The devotion and care lavished upon her by her parents has been absolutely awe-inspiring. It has enabled her to fulfil her life within the limits of her disabilities.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
