Hospital pay-out after boy left 'profoundly disabled'published at 15:28 Greenwich Mean Time 5 February 2018
The parents of a boy who suffered brain damage at birth have agreed a multimillion-pound pay-out from the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust.
A barrister acting for the family said the boy, now a teenager, had been left "profoundly disabled".
William Latimer-Sayer QC told the judge at a High Court hearing in London that the trust had "admitted clinical negligence" as a result of "mismanagement" of the boy's birth.
Lawyers representing the trust said that bosses had apologised for what happened.
The boy cannot be identified for legal reasons.
