A child who was starved of oxygen at birth has won a compensation claim , approved by Manchester District Registry. The nine-year-old boy, from Rock Ferry, needs 24-hour care after doctors at Wirral University Hospital failed to spot a dangerous fibroid in his mother’s womb during a scan in 2000. Three days later she suffered a massive bleed at home and was rushed into hospital. The baby was starved of oxygen for more than 45 minutes and he was subsequently diagnosed with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy and impaired sight. He relies on 24-hour care from his parents and cannot talk. Had doctors reviewed his mother’s notes from her previous four pregnancies, they would have realised she had a fibroid and had endured a previous breech delivery. She would have been admitted to hospital in the days leading up to birth where he could have been delivered with emergency care. Specialist care provided The boy now lives at home with his mum and dad, who is a marine fitter for Mersey Ferries, along with his four brothers and sisters, aged between 11 and 20. He attends Lyndale School in the Wirral which provides special care to children with severe learning difficulties and his mother, a former waitress, is his main carer. The family contacted a personal injury lawyer’s firm to pursue a clinical negligence claim after being advised by the father’s union Unite. The High Court found the hospital negligent in 2008. The hearing approved the agreed settlement for the family. It reflects the level of care that the boy will need for the rest of his life. The father said: “This has been a long hard fight to secure my son’s long term care. An interim payment has already allowed us to move to a more suitable house which has a bathroom and bedroom on the ground floor. My son is able to move around all of the rooms on the ground floor in his wheelchair. “The settlement will allow us to make sure he has the best care possible.” Help to develop a happy full life “My son’s smile lights up the room and he brings us so much joy. We are eternally grateful he survived such a traumatic birth. Now we want to concentrate on helping him to develop his full potential to make his life as happy and fulfilled as possible.” Paul Finegan from the Unite union, said: “Whilst we do not fund these claims we do refer them onto our lawyers who are experts in this field and we are pleased this has been a successful outcome for this member.” Gillian Muir from the personal injury lawyer’s firm added: “This case was vitally important for the young boy and his family. “The hospital trust and their solicitors denied liability throughout this case. He would have been left with nothing had the family not decided to fight on. Despite the huge extra burden and worry the family were left with no choice but to take the matter all the way to trial. This judgment now means that the young boy will be looked after financially for the rest of his life. “To avoid any other family having to go through what the this family have had to put up, with we hope this judgment will mean that hospitals ensure full past obstetric notes are available to the treating clinicians, when a pregnant woman is seen in hospital or by community midwives, and appropriate plans are made for their treatment and delivery of the baby.”
