Sheffield man awarded £8m NHS negligence payoutpublished at 16:34 British Summer Time 25 May 2017
A man who was left disabled as a result of negligence during his birth will receive almost £8m in NHS compensation.
NHS lawyers accepted his premature delivery at Sheffield's Jessop Maternity Hospital in the 1990s was handled negligently.
Now in his 20s, the man, who cannot be identified, uses a wheelchair and requires 24-hour care.
He will also receive £290,000 a year for the rest of his life, which could see the total payout top £20m if he lives into his 70s as expected.
