payout for baby operation 'error'
Approving the settlement at London's High Court, Mr Justice Tugendhat said: "I do express my sympathy to Stacey's family and wish them all the best for the future.
"Stacey has been very fortunate in the support her family has given her, so lovingly, for so long."
Lawyers told the court Miss Smith was born with a congenital condition and was taken into hospital with a high temperature and poor feeding.
Doctors suspected gall stones and carried out an operation to remove her gall bladder.
Miss Smith's lawyers said the operation was carried out negligently, puncturing her bowel which caused her to go into cardiac arrest.
She was resuscitated but suffered permanent brain damage and now has cerebral palsy and problems walking long distances.
Speaking outside court, Miss Smith's solicitor, Bruce Williams, said it would take some time for the outcome to sink in, because Miss Smith's family had become so used to looking after her on their own.
