£6.6 million for damaged baby
12 April 2012
A seven-year-old boy, left facing a lifetime of acute disability by hospital blunders at his birth, today won more than £6.6 million compensation from the NHS.
Leo Whiten's mother had planned a home delivery but ended up being taken to St George's Hospital in Tooting in June 2004.
There, a delay in delivery led to oxygen starvation and brain damage. He needs round-the-clock care.
