HC Deb 25 January 1990 vol 165 c855W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement as to why it took 10 years to agree damages to Monica Prospero, following an abortion at Nottingham City hospital that went wrong; how the various percentage elements of the claim were calculated; and whether the health authority has now written to her apologising for the error.

Mr. Freeman

Claims for damages are entirely a matter for the health authority concerned, the claimants and their authorised representatives.
