The NHS trust accepted liability for the young girl’s condition, with Bradley Martin KC, who represented the trust, saying, “there is no amount of money that can truly compensate for her injuries.”
The girl will receive part of the settlement in a lump sum, and will receive the remainder annually for the rest of her life.
A spokesperson for the NHS trust told the BBC: “We are very sorry for the claimant’s injuries, and we understand no amount of money can fully compensate for them.
“However, we are pleased that the settlement has been approved, and we hope the agreed damages will ensure that the claimant can live as independently as possible in the future.”
