£2 million in compensation has been awarded to a man in England who was left severely disabled due to problems during his birth.
28-year-old, Jonathon Khairule’s severe cerebral palsy means that he can only communicate by typing on a keyboard with his nose.
The case did not require to go to court as the health board stumped up the compensation and effectively admitted that midwives and Obstetricians failed to delivery Jonathon promptly given his decelerating heart rate.
The compensation is based mostly on the cost of 24 hour care for Mr. Khairule for the rest of his life.
