NHS pays out £100million to disabled children left brain damaged at birth in just 24 hours The NHS paid out more than £100million within just 24 hours to disabled children who suffered brain damage at birth.
The High Court approved settlements in 11 cases on Monday and Tuesday last week, which breached the monumental sum in total.
One of the payouts was for a record £37million, which was awarded to a six-year-old boy who suffered a catastrophic brain injury after contracting herpes in hospital.
Negligence victims receive up to three times what they used to after ministers decided to alter how payouts are calculated last year. The Daily Mail
