Leeds baby's superbug payout - Yorkshire Evening Post.
The parents of a baby who was struck down with MRSA at a Leeds hospital have won compensation from NHS chiefs. Alistair Purvis, born seven weeks premature, contracted the potentially-lethal superbug at Leeds General Infirmary two years ago. Five other babies were also infected with the bug in an outbreak in the neonatal unit. Now, his family has won a £1,200 payout after Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust admitted that it failed to follow proper hygiene procedures which led to Alistair being infected.
