Little Leeds boy born with brain damage after being 'starved of oxygen' sparks legal battle with hospital

A Leeds couple are taking legal action after their son was born with brain damage and cerebral palsy.

Seb Collins was born in Leeds General Infirmary three weeks late and the family believe he was "starved" of oxygen in his mum's womb which lead to several birthing problems. When his mum Harriet went to her 35 week scan, doctors noticed he had a condition called intermittent end diastolic flow in one of the arteries.

The condition could mean that Seb would not have been receiving all of the oxygen and nutrients he required. But his mum went full-term with Seb being delivered at 40 weeks.
