A nine-year-old girl from County Down who suffered a serious brain injury at birth is to be awarded nearly £20m in damages.
The girl's parents said "whilst the compensation is significant, it is not a lottery win"
The child, who cannot be identified, sustained a brain injury due to severe oxygen deficiency and later developed cerebral palsy. With liability accepted by the South Eastern Trust, the case centred on the appropriate level of compensation. In a statement outside court, the girl's parents said: "We are glad the trust accepted responsibility for the failures in care and we hope that lessons have been learned from this case.
