A TEN-year-old girl who was left severely disabled following errors made by two hospitals at the time of her birth has been awarded a settlement worth around ?5million.
Louisa Ravouvou suffered severe injuries because hospital staff failed to respond to a bleed on the brain while she was in the womb, and later failed to give her a blood transfusion which was needed shortly after she was born.
The Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals NHS Trust, now the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust, and the Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust admitted jointly in May 2012 that breaches of their duty of care at the time of Louisa?s birth caused her disabilities.
