A boy who was starved of oxygen at birth, leaving him with cerebral palsy, is set to receive a multi-million pound compensation payout.

Daniel Spencer, 11, from Malvern, requires round-the-clock care following the problems during the labour at Worcestershire Royal Hospital.

Worcestershire Hospitals Trust has accepted more could have been done in an agreement at Birmingham High Court.

It paves the way for a settlement, lawyers have said.

Daniel needs a wheelchair and struggles to communicate because of his condition, which arose after midwives did not react quick enough when his mother Susan began bleeding during labour.
