An eight
year old boy was left severely injured following a
breach of duty by hospital carers and physicians. St
Georges NHS Trust admitted liability and agreed to pay
substantial damages following their
medical
negligence.
The child
went into hospital because he was suffering with
breathing difficulties but he had a cardiac arrest
which was allegedly mismanaged by staff.
The incident
which happened in 2000 was subject to a prolonged
court case but the Trust admitted negligence and
apologised to the child and family for the breach of
duty that occurred.
