Hayden died when he was just six days old
Estimates published last year put the total cost of outstanding compensation claims at £83bn. NHS England's total budget in 2018-19 was £129bn. Initially Hayden's parents did not know what had happened to him. In the face of official silence and in a bid to get answers they took legal action against the hospital.
