A child who suffered brain damage after a catastrophic fall in blood sugar levels within days of his birth is to get millions of pounds in compensation.
Medics allegedly failed to recognise the potential consequences of the child’s reluctance to feed which led to his collapse due to hypoglycaemia, the High Court was told.
He now needs 24-hour care.
