 Lewis Prosser was born at the Princess of Wales Hospital |
An NHS trust is being sued by a five-year-old boy who is severely disabled following complications at his birth. Lewis Prosser from Bridgend, who is suing Bro Morgannwg NHS Trust through his father Mark, has issued a writ at London's High County.
He was born at the Princess of Wales Hospital, Bridgend.
Lews is dependent on other people, cannot sit or stand without support, and has cerebral palsy.
Now he is claiming compensation for his injuries.
The writ states that his mother Eileen was admitted to the hospital on 28 and 30 October 1997 with contractions every five minutes, and each time was sent home.
She returned again on 31 October with very uncomfortable contractions.
Lewis Prosser was born at 1947 GMT, but was very limp and unresponsive, and doctors later found he had dystonic tetraplegic cerebral palsy, with epilepsy, delayed development, and an abnormal curvature of the spine.
He is unable to talk, and his development will always be significantly delayed.
No date has yet been fixed for hearing the case.
A spokeswoman from Bro Morgannwg NHS Trust said it was unable to comment at this time.
