Crawley father speaks about wait for medical mistakes compensation

A Crawley father has spoken out about the length of time families have to wait for compensation for medical mistakes.

Thomas Hord, now 8-years-old has cerebral palsy and is unable to speak or walk after being starved of oxygen at birth due to midwives failure to place a foetal heart monitor in the right position.

They had to wait seven years before securing a £2.5 million lump sum and annual payments for Thomas’s care.
