A Hospital Trust has admitted ‘breach of duty’ in a medical negligence claim and has made changes to how patients are cared for after a teenage boy was left starved of oxygen as doctors tried to stop bleeding following the removal of his tonsils.
Corey Wilkinson, of Grimsby, had his tonsils removed at Diana Princess of Wales Hospital, Grimsby.
The Trust admitted ‘a number of breaches of duty’ during his treatment to lawyers at Hudgell Solicitors, who are leading a medical negligence compensation claim on Corey’s behalf.
