NHS bosses tried to 'gag' father of boy whose life was ruined in botched operation

NHS bosses tried to 'gag' father of boy whose life was ruined in botched operation An NHS hospital effectively paralysed a young boy for life and then tried to “gag” his family from speaking out.

Bosses at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust threatened legal action unless the child's father watered down his account of the event on the grounds it was “too emotional and too critical”.
