A girl who suffered a serious brain injury during her birth has been awarded £20.7m in NHS compensation.
She has quadriplegic cerebral palsy after errors were made at the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading in 2011. It admitted negligence in 2017 and lawyers representing the girl said it missed four opportunities to deliver her earlier to prevent the injuries.In a statement to the BBC, Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust's chief medical officer Dr Janet Lippett said the organisation was"pleased that a settlement has been made and wish the family well for the future".'Fulfil potential'
Lawyers acting on behalf of the family from law firm Fieldfisher, said the eight-year-old girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is intellectually able but severely physically disabled and needs 24-hour care. They added the trust failed to respond to her heart rate for more than six hours before she was born and did not perform a Caesarean section soon enough.The girl's mother said the settlement, approved at the High Court on Monday, would not only provide 24-hour care but also allow her daughter"to achieve the best possible life and fulfil her great potential".

Royal Berks, not surprised. We had a terrible experience in their labour ward. Mistakes were made by midwifes and the junior doctors, which included covering it up, falsifying hospital records, then loosing them. Shameful!
