According to NHS Resolution estimates, the Health Service had 364 medical negligence cases last year, up from 191 in 2011/12, with more than three quarters devoted to maternity-related injuries. According to medical experts, the'very fragile state' of NHS maternity services and inadequate midwifery workers are contributing to the increasing number of high claims. It comes after a string of troubling reports, one of which revealed that pregnant women and new mothers are being turned away by the NHS, has surfaced. After their son Gethin sustained a serious brain injury, Robert Channon and his wife Sian are now suing the NHS for £10 million (pictured with his father in inset).
