I would like to thank you and your colleagues for the kindness shown to myself and my wife. I class myself as very fortunate to have met such kind and caring people.

Patients given wrong dose of radiation

Over a nine-year period, radiation doses of up to a third less than that prescribed, were given to patients at the North Staffordshire Royal Infirmary in Stoke, until the error was detected in 1991. More than 1,000 cancer patients were given insufficient doses of radiotherapy because of a computer program error. Of those affected many had since died or had to have surgery.

We were brought in by local solicitors in the Stoke area to run the generic litigation due to our expertise. This was a particularly difficult litigation because it was necessary to determine what extent, the 'underdose' had on the patients tumours and life expectancy.

We successfully co-ordinated and negotiated a £2million settlement for 82 Claimants in the group litigation against North Staffordshire Health Authority.
