Adam Cheshire's case formed part of a probe into the biggest maternity scandal in NHS history.

Adam was diagnosed with Group B Strep infection and meningitis after spending weeks in intensive care

A High Court judge approved a payout from Shrewsbury and Telford Hospitals NHS Trust to provide special care for the rest of his life.It accepted 80% of the responsibility for Adam's injury and agreed to make an interim payment to his family.which found catastrophic failures might have led to the deaths and life-changing injuries of hundreds of babies, as well as the deaths of nine mothers.

His mum, the Reverend Charlotte Cheshire, said she had expressed concerns about bright green discharge at one of her last antenatal appointments but no action was taken. "Adam will never live an independent life and will need lifelong care. While I'm devoted to him, I'm now raising a severely disabled son, which is extremely challenging and has changed the path of both our lives forever.

Nine mothers died due to major or significant concerns about their care and at least 94 children suffered avoidable harm - including cerebral palsy and hypoxic brain injuries - due poor maternity care.
