The parents of a baby left severely brain damaged by an NHS error have received a £35,000,000 payout.

The newborn was devastated by sepsis and meningitis after staff at Great Western Hospital NHS Trust in Swindon failed to treat her for a common infection.

The child was left severely brain damaged after the mistakes, which have left her requiring two-to-one, 24-hour care for the rest of her life, The Times reports.
