An Indian-origin man in the UK has been granted a five-figure sum as compensation for the death of his newborn child after a four-year battle for justice. Kamaljeet Singhs baby boy died of a brain injury after staff failed to notice hed already been born under bed sheets in 2008 at St Marys Hospital in Manchester. An inquest into the death in April this year heard newborn Maninder Singh was already in a poor condition,but the delay in staff noticing he had been born and acting to resuscitate him meant he suffered further,avoidable injury. He died a few months later on May 4,2009. This has been an extremely difficult four years for my family. We lost a much loved son under horrific circumstances, the 35-year-old father told the Manchester Evening News. We have fought so hard and waited so long to receive an apology and an admission that more could have been done to save him. No amount of money in the world could ever replace what we have lost. We feel that in some small way,justice has been done, he added.
