Whilst in hospital Miss X was incorrectly dispensed an anti malaria tablet as opposed to her anti psychotic medication and this error went unnoticed for 4 days during which time her condition deteriorated dramatically.
Despite being immediately placed back on the anti psychotic
medication Miss X did not fully recover for a number of
weeks.
The Defendant admitted at an early stage that they had made an
error and after negotiations damages were recovered in the sum of
£5,000.
