A health trust in Northern Ireland is to pay almost £21m to the family of a girl in what is thought to be one of the biggest medical negligence settlements ever in Northern Ireland.
The child suffered brain damage during an emergency Caesarean section and will spend the rest of her life as a wheelchair user.
Her family's solicitor has accused the Western Health and Social Care Trust of prolonging their agony by refusing to admit full liability until nearly 13 years after the child's birth.
In a statement, the Western Trust said it was "very sorry for the failings in the care provided to this family".
